Certainly not a glowing recommendation but why do they keep referring to her as Ms. Palin? I'm pretty doggone sure that she's married and goes by Mrs.

**just a pet peeve of mine

She's earned the honorific “Governor Palin”.

It’s the whole feminist thing.

Ms. (pronounced mzzzz) was introduced in the 60s or 70s (I think) in order to eliminate the identifications of marriage, which anonymity the men already had through the ubiquitous Mr. (pronounced mister)

Previously there was Miss. (pronounced like you didn’t hit something you missed it) and Mrs. (pronounced like you didn’t hit something multiple times misses)

If Ms. predates the 60s then it must have been unfavored in usage and feminists just used it to get their point across.

It’s nice in business if your writing to a female and your unsure of here marital status you don’t have to make any assumptions.
