advice

I work at a phone center through my college. We call Alumni and stuff.

Of course, there are the titles we address the Alumni by:

Mr.
Mrs.
Ms.
&
Miss

I got into a little debate with my co-worker tonight. He said that the title "Ms." was simply an abbreviation for "Miss." I was taught differently. I was taught that "Ms." is a title used for women who are older, single, or would prefer to be addressed as such. I always thought the title "Miss" was meant for younger, single women/girls. I have never heard of "Ms." and "Miss" meaning the same thing.

Can someone formally explain what they think the titles actually mean? Who's right?

Thanks bunches!

I was taught that

Mrs. meant you were married
Miss. meant you were single
Ms. meant that you didnt want people to know if you were married or single(and if you dont know if they are married or single you would just say ms.)

I have asked many of my friends and they were all taught the same way i was taught

I hope i helped
