We will see if these new pronouns catch on in common usage. We’ll see.

Remember years ago, when the feminists pushed “Ms.” Rather than using the traditional “Mrs.” and “Miss”? The title of “Ms.” caught on, and you rarely see Miss or Mrs.used in business correspondence anymore.

That one was a bit different. It singled out women as being most aptly defined by their marital status. It was also de facto age discrimination.

Great point. “Ms.” is, similarly, a meaningless honorific, meant only to make a political statement.

Rather than using the traditional “Mrs.” and “Miss”? The title of “Ms.” caught on, and you rarely see Miss or Mrs.used in business correspondence anymore.

I always use “Ms.” in business correspondence. Yet the three women whose preferred title I know all use “Mrs.” They are all listed as “Mrs.” on our organization chart.

I, personally use “Dr.” If that is not a choice, then I tend to use “Ms.” I guess I have been conditioned that way.
