Re: Kosovo1999: Ethnic cleansing as business oppor (none / 0)

Off topic, but is it typical in Europe to refer to an unmarried woman as Miss?

The Torygraph is not in Europe. It's in Great Britain. They could sue you for that comment you know.

Is that what the Torygraph does?

FWIW, a long time ago when I was learning English I was told Ms is neutral with respect to marital status, and I tend to use that almost exclusively. But that's just me.

That is common practice in the United States as well. Miss is used for a very young woman, and NEVER for a professional woman.
