Nathan may be referring to a regional use. My experience matches the dictionary definition.
Ms. (miz) - modern, all-purpose title for a woman
[New Oxford American Dictionary]
Ms. | mɪz, məz |
noun a title used before the surname or full name of any woman regardless of her marital status (a neutral alternative to Mrs. or Miss):
I am a native speaker of American English, so this may not apply to other dialects, but:
In the US we use Mrs. and Ms. (Misses and Miss respectively).
Mrs. refers to a woman who is married (ex: Mrs. Smith)
Ms. (pronounced Miss) refers to a woman who has never been married (ex: Ms. Smith)
Ms. (pronounced Miz) refers to a woman who has been divorced and not remarried (ex: Ms. Smith)
Normally, however, in my region we just use Ms. regardless of marital status. The whole concept is pretty outdated in my opinion.
I assume that Mdm. in your question is Madam, which is not used in the US, but in Britain I believe. I hope this helped!
