Nitpick:

Ms. Clinton

The suffix, Ms, is for unmarried women.

Carry on.

It convenient fiction that the Clinton’s are “husband and wife”, unless, the words husband and wife are completely meaningless. They are in one sense only, they didn’t get a legal divorce. Otherwise, the Ms. is perfect. It reveals the real truth.

Neither is “Ms.” a suffix nor does it denote an unmarried woman.

Actually Miss is for unmarried , Mrs. for married , Ms. can be used for either or when you are not sure if the woman is married or not.

I believe the point of Ms. is to neutralize marital status as is so with men, all being Mr. whether they are single or not. Ms. is actually very convenient in business these days as no one knows whether Joanne Smith is married or not so how to address mail to her? I realize it must have started as a feminist gimmick but it is actually helpful at this point. It’s dumb to need to ask a woman if she is married to know what to call her, in 2016.

Where have you been for the last 45 years?

Ms. was invented to replace Miss and Mrs.
