| Mrs- sounds the same as misses. Ms- Americans tend to say 'miz' and British 'muz'. Miss- pronounced as written. |

| The be all end all answer: Ms. = Miss (unmarried, or general use) Mrs. = Misses (married) Mz. = Miz (divorced/widowed) Though it's very rare I ever hear "miz" anymore in that context. |
