Conversation 3
Americans often converse on a first-name basis in a casual, friendly manner. If an American business person uses a first name in an introduction, it would be considered snobbish and unfriendly not to do the same. If you're unsure of how friendly or formal the situation is (in speech and in writing), use addresses such as Dr., Ms., Miss, Mrs. or Mr., along with the person's last name. If you're unsure of a woman's marital status, use Ms. [miz].
