In reply to Ladies what do you prefer to be addressed as?, posted by Phillipa on February 13, 2006, at 21:24:09
It depends on the relationship w/ the person. If it is a professional I prefer Ms., although you rarely get that sort of repect nowadays (I'm probably too young to say that, though). Mrs. is risky unless you know for sure. Miss sounds a little like you are talking down to someone, like a child or something. And I think that most women don't like it anymore.
From romantic partners, I like it when he calls me something like "honey" but only after we know each other.
Of course, I mostly like to be called "your majesty" but it doesn't happen that often. ;) Just kidding, I'm still in touch w/ reality (mostly).
Phillipa, I owe you a babblemail. I'm behind on my correspondence. I hope things are working out for you!
Best,
EE
