"Ms." vs "Ms"

Both "ms" and "ms." are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Ms" without a period is the abbreviation for "miss" or "misses" when addressing a woman without specifying her marital status. On the other hand, "Ms." with a period is the abbreviation for the same titles but with a period at the end, commonly used in formal writing.
