Re: A NON-poll

I've always used a period. It looks funny without it. I mean there is a
period after Mrs. and Mr. right, so why wouldn't there be a period after Ms.
because it's another designation.

Yeah, well.... there was absolutely NO POLL in my post so I've no clue
what
my thread title was about except maybe wondering if you use a period after
Ms?? LOL!

The one thing I still love and always have loved about MT is that the
opportunity to learn.

Being a child of the 60s and neofeminism, I remember when Ms became an
accepted designation when you were unsure of one's marital status or for
those who chose to be their own woman, rather than the wife of someone.

Ms Feaster

Then QA told me it was Ms. Feaster

I was all ready to go to the mat debating this one....did a search and
found
a lovely article about the word and the use of a period after it NOW. I
sent the link to QA because it explained why I, as an oldie, did not use
a
period after it, but it also explained to ME why, today, there IS a
period
after it.

Of course, I'm going to have to put it in Auto Correct because it's
going
to
take me a while to start putting periods into my view of feminism ;-)
