i've heard PhD's referred to as "doctor, but not the kind who helps people" moondog Send a noteboard - 06/02/2013 05:43:56 PM
And I've never, ever seen a lawyer referred to as "Dr.". Sometimes the more pretentious ones like to put Esq. after their name, but it just looks sad in my opinion. The only formality that really properly applies to lawyers is that, in the courtroom setting, the proper address is "counselor".


i think that sums it up much better than just plain "Dr."

Dr. is the appropriate title for an M.D. only. Every other jackass these days has a useless Ph.D. Tom - 06/02/2013 03:55:46 PM 472 Views

You're phrasing is rather ambigous then Isaac - 07/02/2013 12:26:46 AM 427 Views
"Your" and "ambiguous". Tom - 07/02/2013 03:39:01 AM 437 Views

I don't see how his phrasing is ambiguous. Legolas - 07/02/2013 09:07:45 AM 517 Views
I am disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt when he's seems to be picking an argument Isaac - 07/02/2013 11:46:02 AM 932 Views
