Punctuation after Ms is optional. ======================== I disagree. Punctuation following Mr and Mrs is becoming optional, but I would respectfully submit that it is incorrect to place a period after Ms, because Ms is actually a word and not an abbreviation (as are Mr, for Master, and Mrs, for Mistress).
If you're writing it like "Miss" then no. If you write it like "Ms.", then yes, there needs to be a dot. This is because "Miss" is the full word, unlike "Ms." "Ms." is an abbreviation- a shorter way of saying something. So once again if it's "Miss", there doesn't need to be a dot; if it's "Ms." then there is one.

Many abbreviations have more than one meaning, ms can be milliseconds or thousandths of a seconds. So, 9.8 ms can mean 9.8 thousandths of a second, or about one one-hundredth of a second.
I guess... but the correct form would be Mademoiselle, meaning an unmarried lady, like Ms. and Madame would be a married lady, like Mrs. Their abbreviations are Mlle. and Mme.
