Hmm. I could be wrong, but I think one person is talking about CVs
(curriculum vitae) and another is talking about CVS (Concurrent Versions
System). CVs are what we in the U.S. call resumes (imagine accents in the
apporpriate places). CVS is a source control/configuration management tool.

In theory, yes. In practice, it gets translated as "rabid man-hating
lesbian feminist".
Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

The normal reason for wanting this "title" is to address letters by surname to make
them sound more formal. A bank I worked for had a dropdown list of 20 or so to choose
from including "sargent", "captain", "reverand", "pastor", "sister", "mother superior"
etc.
My ex-wife had an interesting view

When I was recently widowed, I insisted on the "Mrs." title for a year
though I hadn't when my husband was alive. An

Really? In the US, it's pronounced "Miz." Has been for more than a century
though there wasn't a standardised spelling for it.

Yes, I got a rather apologetic letter from their marketing department. I'm
happy they acted so fast. They said it was an oversight. ::sigh::

If so; pardon me. I was under the assumption that it was pronounced "msss" or

That it is pronounced Miss, for a start, because(of course) if one was
married, one would use Mrs., wouldn't one (I am not making this up,
honest!)? Or, a less

Have other countries adopted "Ms." as a title or is it mostly a US

I don't think it's a silly little point. It's one of the 'lunch money' points
