[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ive not really thought about this. [b]Men are always Mr, married, single divorced. [/b]Seems like women should be referred to by a similarly relationship neutral term. The only time I ever have to select one is when booking flights. I think I just put Ms. I didnt change my last name so I'm never sure what Im supposed to put. [/quote] Only now because the language evolved. A couple of hundred years ago, Mister meant married head of household. Master was the term used for unmarried or dependent men. The language evolved to use Mister for all men regardless of marital status or dependency. Just like the language has evolved to use Ms. (Miz) for all women regardless of marital status. But all said, freedom of expression means that each individual gets to decide which term/practice they wish to use.[/quote] Like "master Will" in Fresh Prince of Bel Air, that is what Jeffrey called him[/quote]
