I have no objections to "Ms." whatever, and since it seems to be officially
accepted, I can only admire the fine sense of antiquity which apparently
drives some people to still complain about it. 

However, in reading L S's article, although she wrote "honorific", my mind
persisted in seeing "horrific". Is this significant? Perhaps I am a monster -
or even worse, a hairy beast (GROWL)! Do beasts get titles, too? Don't
answer that.
