I view that as a step in the right direction. “Ms.” is a horrible artificial construction.

What’s really funny is that if you really look at it, it’s a *demotion* for any female who used any of the other titles.

"no one uses Ms. anymore."

Well that's certainly news to me.

I guess for now on, whenever I write a business letter to a lady I'll have to call her first and ask her if she's married.

Good to hear. But it will always be Ms. in the business world. There is NO way firms are going to rev up the computer lists and change the Ms. to Mrs., especially when they don’t even know who is which.
