surely be married; otherwise, she'd be *Mademoiselle* Hooch, right?>

Now me (Kirstini): "Madam" (no 'e' at the end) is a courtesy title 
used in the WW for a professional woman who isn't an academic 
teacher. "Madame" is the French word for "Mrs". "Mademoiselle" is 
also French.
Hope that helps,
Kirstini
