| Mar 4, 2016 at 16:34 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | So "Misses" would be more like "He misses his grandchildren." While "Mrs." would be like "Let me get you in touch with the missez."? | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 16:27 | comment | added | WS2 | @MonkeyZeus There is very little difference though the second is far more often used than the former. So if I had a need to employ the Misses, I would pronounce it very deliberately, distinguishing it from the Mrs. | |

| Mar 4, 2016 at 0:37 | comment | added | curiousdannii | You've got two questions here: What is the plural of "Mrs", and should you ever use it? The first answer is "Mesdames", the second is absolutely not. | |

| Mar 3, 2016 at 21:17 | comment | added | herisson | @EdwinAshworth: I was referring to this sentence in the linked answer: "Ms. is a bit more complicated; any of "Mses.", "Mss.", or "Mmes." (from the French "mesdames") are acceptable." It's not a duplicate because the questions are different, and in any case the linked answer unfortunately has no source for this statement. But I thought it might be useful information. (I guess the plural of "Ms." and "Mrs." is not exactly the same either--sorry if my careless wording caused any confusion.) | |
