Asked by Nicole
                Does Miss and Ms. fit under the category of homonyms or homophones, or are they under another category?

    They are not pronounced the same way, at least in most parts of the country.
Miss = mis
Ms. = miz
    
Miss = mis
Ms. = miz

    Homonyms share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings.

Miss and Ms. are titles, just as are Mrs. and Mr.

    those were just examples, so they are homographs?

    They are not homographs.  They have different sounds, different spellings, and different meanings.

    The only connection I see between Miss and Ms. are that they are titles:  Dr. Mr., Mrs.
