You know, I've been thinking. Well, not so much thinking as actually "being bothered". A friend of mine told me yesterday that "Mss" is the title for an unmarried woman. According to him "Ms" was for divorced women and "Mrs" for married women. In my world "Ms" is the feminist-way to say "fuck off - you don't have to know if I'm married or not" and can mean both "miss" and "mrs". To hear that there's another title is just... wrong. Men have "Mr" if they're unmarried and "Mr" if they're married. Why can't women just have "Ms"? "Mrs" means "Mister's" in my world and let's face it - in this part of the world it's been a while since women were the property of men. (At least legally.)
I hate not knowing stuff.
