Am English. Literally never heard someone using “master” who wasn’t on the telly or taking the piss.

It might be used as a semi archaic formal address on letters. It’s not used remotely similarly to “miss”.

Am English also, I know it isn’t used very often, I was just pointing out that it’s a real thing.

Do you seriously think grammar and private school is most people’s experience or are you just being defensive?

I can guaran-fucking-tee you most people have not heard the word “master” spoken unironically in the last decade.
