OH I have to know... Why am I supposed to be insulted by being addressed as Miss? I can see Old Maid Maleficient as a derogatory term, but when my very southern girlfriend's son calls me Miss Maryellen (because that's how he's taught how to address adult( I think it's charming.

I have never been insulted by Miss in my life -- do I need to start ?
