　　Almost everyone knows the meaning of Mr. Mrs. and Miss. Mr. is used before the names of men, Mrs. is for married women and Miss is for single women. But what is Ms?

　　For some time businessmen in the United States have used Ms before a woman' s name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not.
