Forms of address Mr., Mrs., Ms, Miss.... What am I?
"Mr." is for a man. It used to be for an adult male and "Master" was used for children, but it isn't used much any more.
"Mrs." is an abbreviation for Misses and is used to denote a married woman.
“Miss” is not an abbreviation and, therefore, should never have a period after it. It is used to denote an unmarried woman.
"Ms" is also not an abbreviation and is used to denote a woman, married or unmarried. During the Women's Liberation movement of the early 1970s, it was thought that it was biased to give a title representing a woman's marital status whereas men have a title that does not reveal this information.
All these titles are used with the last name or with the full name (usually in formal written speech), but never with the first name of a person.
