Oh look I made a poll

I was going to put an option of "hideous feminist troll-beast" for the first question, but I thought people might tick it for FUN, and I really want to know. I've sort of got an idea that it's a geographical/national difference, but I don't know.

For the second question, I have some French Fancies, and am eating my least favourite first.

[Poll #1631819]

Obviously feel free to skip over questions if you only want to answer some. The final question is pure nosiness, I tend to assume that people have the same background that I do and them and surprised when this is not true. Any other reflections on schools (or any other toopics in this fascinating survey) are very welcome in the comments.

I think I started using Ms when I was about 16 or so. People generally only use titles with your surname though, so you'd not have so many zzzzzzzs going on.

I'm sure I'd get the occasional "Mizz Lizz [Surname]", though D:

Also, in what world is 'tony' an adjective, and what does it mean?

Tony seems to mean "with tone", sort of like posh, only not really posh? So a tony neighbourhood would be one that was upmarket in some way. I have read it mostly in American detective fiction. Also in Reacher!

Ah, American! That might possibly explain why I've never heard it.
