What is the difference between Mrs, Ms, and Miss?

Question:Just curious.

Answers:
Mrs. is the formal 'title' for a married woman (Madame or Mme. in French)

Ms. is the 'title' for a majority of divorced woman

Miss is the formal 'title' for a female child until the age of 12 - or for a woman who has never married. (Madamoiselle in French)
Married, non-committal, not married. Mrs= Married, missus

Ms= Mizz, older unmarried

Miss= Miss, younger unmarried Mrs.-married
Ms.-not married
Miss-kind of both u can be either married or not u usually use the title when u talk to someone u havent met before and stuff like that I think...Mrs. = married, Ms. = unmarried adult, and Miss = young girl Mrs. means that the lady is married. Miss means that she isn't. Ms. can mean either. My parents always told me Ms. meant that she didn't want people to know! Mrs. refers to a woman that is married. Ms. is an unmarried woman. Miss is the same as Ms. i think. Mr. is the title for a man.
Mrs. is the traditional title for a married woman.
Miss is the traditional title for an unmarried woman.
Ms. is the contemporary title for a woman, whether married or unmarried. Mrs. (or Mrs), rarely spelt out Missus, is a title used for women, usually married women.

Mr. (or Mr) is a social title used for a man. It is an abbreviation of Mister, though it is almost never spelled out in normal usage. The plural of Mr. is Messrs.: pronounced messers, an abbreviation for the French messieurs.

Miss is a title, typically used for an unmarried woman. It is a contraction of mistress, originating during the Victorian era. Its counterpart, Mrs., was used for married women.

Ms. or Ms (pronounced /məz/ or /mɪz/) is a title used with the last name or full name of a woman. Unlike the more traditional titles Miss and Mrs., it does not bear any reference to the woman's marital status, as Mr. does not for a man. Married, None of your buisness, and Not married. Mrs.=misses:married
Ms.=miss: unmarried or anonymous the first answer to this question is right
married, non comittal, unmarried Mrs. means you are married.
Ms. means you could be married or not, but choose not to tell if you are married or not. If you are writing a letter and you don't know if they are married or not use this.
Miss means not married. You could also call any girl under 18 this. Mrs. can be used for married or divorced women who are keeping the husband's name.

Miss is for unmarried women.

Ms. works for either.

Since Miss has connotations attached to being young, naive, and ignorant, many women don't like to be called Miss nowadays even if they are unmarried. So I recommend always using Ms. for unmarried women, or if you don't know, unless the person specifically tells you she's a Miss.
