    I stand corrected on this one then....
    ....but, it is what I was taught many years ago; probably before
    "Ms" existed.
    Also, some women particularly dislike it's use - although this could all be avoided by correct and full information given in the first place - it's all well and good being modern and casual (esp. in/via email), but the poor applicant can't figure out what to do for the best in these cases.
    Sloppiness pees me off.

    A pen? I don't think I have a pen anywhere in my house. I've got those short bookie pens with hardly any ink. Will they do?

    I wouldn't apply for the position. My handwriting is atrocious. I can barely read it myself and I'm the one who wrote it.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I agree with what you've posted but the default title for a woman is definitely Ms.

    Or would it be ridiculous to give her the title 'Dr'?
