"use of Ms"


          

hi sir,
can we use Ms. for both married & unmarried women or not. & how do we pronounce this.
like we use miss for unmarried & mrs. for married women.

Dear gagan22_in,

Yes. Some women choose the title Ms. (pronounced /mz/) as the female equivalent of Mr. Like 'Mr.' it does not tell us whether the person is married or single.
