If Mrs and Miss are generally used to distinguish the marital status of a female, is there or has there ever been a term with the same connotation as Miss for a male?
For instance in the following sentence what is the appropriate title you could use in the dotted space, Mr or just nothing perhaps, and why?
- Miss Jane is 20 years old and her younger brother (...) John has just turned 18.
Note: I am nor referring to terms like bachelor, but just to titles like Mr or Miss.
