I prefer Ms., and I always will -- whether married or single, because I will never change my name and I don't think women should be addressed differently based on their marital status. I figure that men have Mr. and women have Ms.

However, I think that the important thing is to always find out a woman's preference and address her accordingly. I wouldn't want to be addressed as Miss or Mrs., but if that is what someone else prefers, I will always respect her wishes -- even if she prefers Mrs. Hisfirst Hislast, which I absolutely do not understand.

Ditto.
