How to greet a lady on the phone in the formal way not knowing her martial status?
How can I greet a lady on the phone in the formal way if I do not know her martial status?
Can I say:
"Goodafternoon Ms[prononucing miz or muz?] Smith!"
???
I heard somewhere that I can use Ms only if I refer to a lady in the 3rd person.
