Ehh, it can be adapted to mean Mister/Misses if that’s how people interpret it.
Comment on Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral?
charles@lemmy.ca 2 years agoJust fyi, M. in French is only equivalent to Mr, it’s short for Monsieur. Mme (short for Madame) is equivalent to Mrs, and Mlle (short for Mademoiselle) is equivalent to Miss/Ms.
So using M. for everyone is equivalent to saying Mr. for everyone.

Yeah, I know! That’s why I was surprised when someone addressed me as “M.” in French. So, I thought “that’s neat!” and picked it up.
