Call centre employee: "Are you Mrs. or Miss?"
Female customer: "I'm Ms."
Employee: "What? What's that?"
Customer: "It's a title that doesn't reveal my married status, as whether or not I'm married is nobody else's business."
Employee: "Oh, that's a good idea - they should have something like that for men."

When I was little I thought "Miss" meant single, "Mrs" meant married, and "Ms" meant divorced.
Of course, in practice I wasn't too far wrong.

To be honest, I don't have the faintest clue how I'm supposed to pronounce all that. Well, except Miss, that one's kinda obvious.

Sock, Ms and Miss are the same. Mrs is Missis.

"Ms and Miss are the same?" I wouldn't say that to any feminists, if I were you!
