100% agreed on all counts. And also it's weird, because Miss Manners was the person from whom I learned that "Ms." is not a replacement for "Miss," and offering "Ms." and "Mrs." as choices implies that Ms. is just a feminist way to indicate an unmarried woman, and not a courtesy title for women that doesn't tell you marital status. Is someone else writing her answers these days?
