Subject:Proper Usage of Miss From:Debbie Warren <dwarren -at- DTECHS -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 24 Feb 1999 10:53:47 -0600
Several of my co-workers say "Miss Jane or Miss Linda" even when the woman
is married. I do not believe that they are using Miss correctly. I think
that one should always use "Miss" with a last name and only for a unmarried
woman. I'm I right?
Can anyone refer me to a reference book or a web site?
Thanks.
