The virtual school says its hands are tied due to Florida’s “don’t say gay” law. However, the teacher has lodged a complaint against it.

Mr. is derived from master and Ms. is derived from mistress. Their pronunciation is derived from their etymology.
I agree though that common usage plays a part.
Master and Mr are different in usage, the former for young people (under 18).
Ms is pronounced with the /z/ sound, not the ‘s’ in mistress.
Ms. Mrs. And Miss are all from mistress apparently, and Ms. (MIZ) was used to address a woman regardless of marital status.
Today I learned.
This dang language keeps evolving, doesn’t it?
