I be dumb ..... help please

[Botany]

What is the plural of Ms.?

Like Ms. Smith and Ms. Jones were walking.

Mss. Smith and Jones were walking :shrug:

[Taverner]

1. Isn't it Missus?

Or some iteration of that?

[BrklynLiberal]

2. How about "The Mses Smith and Jones were walking"????

[glowing]

3. You would just say Ms Smith and Jones were walking.

If you wanted a possessive Ms I think its Ms'..

[Botany]

5. but what if I wanted to refer that both smith and jones were XX?

You would just say Ms Smith and Jones were walking. You might be right
but does this not leave doubt about Jones' sex?

[MercutioATC]

4. Mss. or Mses.

The plural for Mr. is Messrs.

14. So are you saying

That the plural of Ms is Messes?

[Madam Mossfern]

6. I found it, I think

The rare plural of Ms. is Mses. However, Judith Martin advocates the use of the French "Mesdames" for addressing multiple women. It is not standard to use Ms. as a term of direct address; usually Ma'am will be used.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ms.

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

When addressing envelopes, I know to separate names on the envelope when addressed to two unrelated people. But, when writing the letter, do I still separate the names if they have the same salutation? For example, do I write Dear Ms. Smith and Ms. Jones? If I use a plural, what is it for Ms.?

Signed,

Just Curious

Dear Just Curious,

It's fine to separate out Ms. for two women (Dear Ms. Smith and Ms. Jones). The plural for Ms. is Mses. or Mss., such as Dear Mses. Smith and Jones. For three or more persons, it's best to use a plural salutation.

12. If its good enough for Judith Martin, it certainly works for me!

[Sal Minella]

13. Mesdames Martin and Post would agree on this, I think.

7. I actually think your "Mss." solution is the best one. . .

Although I wouldn't attempt to pronounce it...

[Botany]

9. Pronounced Mzz?

Damn it why did those bra burning fem radicals come up with the proper word
in the 1970s?????????

[isentropic]

8. There is no plural...there is only one Mississippi.

:D

[Toucano]

11. Mississippi God Damn!

As Nina Simone would have said.

[lame54]

10. I happen to know Ms. Smith can't stand Ms. Jones...

and they would not be seen walking together
