That's a combo French thing & database user thing -- I use xxx.xxx.xxxx so I don't need to prefix the nunber with ' to keep Excel from doing a calculation.
Then I edit to use hyphens when posting in the header of a fax or body of an ejmail -- for maximum universal recognition.
It's my fault, IMO, if my business communications are misunderstood.
The Ms (no period is a holdover of some older women believing the term was invented as a neolgism to avoid defining a womam by her marital status or age; that may well have been the original intent -- I choose to see it as being equivalent to Mr. (combines Master(child) & Mister(married/adult))
I take no nevermind if they are taking offense, whether they or I are right or wrong -- either way, calm yourself, check yourself, before you wreck yourself. . .
Life's short (or is it? It's the longest thing any of us will ever experience, barring metaphysical afterlife theories, of course); I prefer people to only take offense when I intend it (a very rare occurrence--likewise my taking offense that's not 100% clearly intended for me as such, & even then, I generally CBA. . )
