QUICK NEWS: Mademoiselle no more!
Apparently France has dropped 'Mademoiselle' from use. "Prime Minister François Fillon ordered the honorific — akin to “damsel” and the equivalent of “miss” — banished from official forms and registries. The use of “mademoiselle,” he wrote, made reference “without justification nor necessity” to a woman’s “matrimonial situation,” whereas “monsieur” has long signified simply “sir.” Article
"its a shame, mademoiselle has its place" - "It can also be flattering and pleasing and makes a person feel younger".
