Social titles

Titles conventionally appended to persons' names in social life. Some professional titles are used in social life, such as Rev.; others usually are not (Dr., for example, is not always used in the US in the case of a Ph.D. but is generally used for medical professionals; in other countries, for example the UK, it is considered somewhat inappropriate for non-academics to use Dr. solely on the strength of a medical degree).

Mr.

Ms.

Mrs.

Miss
