I had to write the flame below because I was so IRRITATED at the concept.

Not only am I required to enter a "title" on your form (since you're in
the UK, where titles are more important, I'll forgive that part), but you
have NO category for women that does not require marital status. In the
US, as in some other countries, "Ms." is the preferred abbreviation for
most women.
WHY is my marital status any of your business? As a widow, I don't think
of myself as Miss (which to me means never married), nor do I think of
myself as a Mrs. (as I am not currently married)
I'm honestly offended enough that I'm considering NOT evaluating your
product.
