[Jane Holland]

Point taken, Janice.

But this to Richard, if I wished to be addressed as Ms (I'm actually married, but whatever) I would use that title in my name. I have no problem with women who call themselves Ms - it is, after all, a good way of avoiding being labelled as married or unmarried in some outdated, patriarchal way; you can't tell from Mr whether or not a man is married - but have never done so myself. Except on official documents, I prefer just to be Jane.
