Does it surprise you when someone uses Mrs.?

Asked by JLeslie (65448points) March 12th, 2013

A women who is helping coordinate my move addressed me as Mrs. Lastname in an email. I so rarely see Mrs. used anymore. It doesn’t bother me, she knows I am married, she didn’t make an assumption, but most people use Ms. Except on formal invitations, then I sometimes still see Mr. and Mrs. Husband’sFirstName LastName. Although, sometimes people are loathe to even use that style where it favors the man.

What do you prefer? Do you find any of them offensive?

Let us know if you are a man or a woman. What you use to address women in various situations when you typically would not be addressing them by their first name.
