And mistress too, in at least one sense. Ms, Mrs, and Miss are all personal titles to be used by the choice of the person to whom they apply. On that basis, Ms does not cover Miss and Mrs because some don't like the title and don't want it applied to them. `I'm Mrs, not Ms' - I have been told sharply more than once. And not just by women of what's termed a certain age, whatever the hell that might mean. Some people in this world still value marriage, you know. Sign more contracts said Roy and he was right.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Ms Clinton, and it seems unlikely I will ever have the opportunity to ask her in person about her preferences. (if any) So I'll do it my way, if you don't mind. Weren't you the anarchist here? Jan |
