Re: What are regional cultural differences in the USA?

In and around Washington DC and going as far as some nearby places in suburban Maryland and Virginia, as far as I know the only time you're expected to address anyone as "Mr/Ms/Mrs" anymore is if you're a student addressing a teacher or principal, or a reporter giving an interview. It's assumed that everyone prefers to use their first name. More conservative families might have their friends' kids (or kids' friends) call them Mr. or Miss plus their first name, but that's not as common as just the plain first name.

Once, though, I did get yelled at big time by a new friend's mom because I didn't add "Miss," and that was when I learned it was ever an issue at all.

I can confirm this. I actually can't remember the last time I called someone 'Mr/Ms/Mrs.' Everyone just goes by their first name here.
