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. . )
