Thirty or forty years ago, a lot of people thought that honorifics ( Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms. ) , especially in print, would soon go the way of bloomers and button shoes. Now you can have an internet information form rejected because you didn't fill in the title or honorific. What's wrong with addressing people by first and last name, without a title? It would be much simpler and more modern. Or we could take up "citizen" and "citizeness".
