As I am unmarried, and clearly wear no ring, I prefer to be called "Miss." When marital status is unknown, I still think "Ms. Doe" is appropriate. Yeps makes an interesting point. I think "Miss (first name)" is a southern thing. I've taught undergraduates both in New England and here in Florida, and only here did I have a student who refused to call me by my first name. She said it wasn't appropriate, and that she would call me Miss Erin because it showed the proper respect, and she was disappointed that the other students didn't do the same. I didn't understand it at first, but I came to see her point and appreciate it.
