That's it right there...
I've been called ma'am since I was sixteen, and I'm only 22 now. I'd prefer "miss" quite honestly. However, professionally I don't go by Miss J--(that brings back horrible memories of teachers who knew who my father was and called me Miss J-- mockingly)--I'm Ms. J--, thank you very much...though in certain classrooms I let the students call me by my first name. They think it's ever so much cooler.
I wish "miss" were used more often than "ma'am." "Ma'am" makes me feel old...unless a hottie cowboy says it!
