Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee, Is the word "Master" still used when addressing envelopes to juvenile boys? Signed, Curious Dear Curious, An envelope can be addressed with the title "Master" for a boy age 12 or younger. If there is more than one boy, use Masters, for example: Masters Joe and John Doe. Depending on the correspondence, it's also fine to be informal, forego the title, and use just first and last name of the boy. For older boys, Mr. can be used. The plural form is Messrs. |
