Shortcut dilemma

This message is not archived

Technically I'm a Master not a Mister. I've not seen a two letter abbreviation for Master, unless it's also Mr. When I was little the letters (the very few I got) always spelt Master in full.

I don't answer to Mr. I use no title so as not to perpetuate patriarchal power relationships. As I am not married if people want to call me mister I correct them to my correct title. They usually can't bring themselves to call me master so they drop the title.
Ms Kelly - as a modern southerner would call you.

Notice how primary teachers are always called Miss.

You may be correct or better said using the term properly. However, here
married or not is Mr. for male. Miss for all female teachers married or not
(grades K-12). When filling forms: Mrs. or Ms. On a side note, I am
married and have 'never' used Mrs. or Ms. for anything, legal or not.
