do people use neutral titles if a gender is unknown, or do they just leave it out? yes, no title is a section here, but for the titles that are actual titles, are they used when a gender isn't known?

== Master / Mistress == | |||
I found this page looking for a respectful alternative to master / mistress. Not necessarily in a formal context; I have seen Master (not sure of the abbreviation) used for boys / young men before they are considered old enough for Mr., not sure if this is archaic and also how to shorten it (Msr.?). My need was in the (boring) context webmistress / webmaster. Reading the article webMx. seems like it should be a popular choice but I'd need to spell it out fully and am lost to a good suggestion. Any help appreciated (and I hope this is an appropriate place to air this). | |||
