Say there Dr., are you a Mr.? Maybe a Ms.?

@Kii

I get why people want others to use their title. Doctorates and particularly MDs take a lot of effort, time, and dedication. It’s part of their identity. I’m a doctor of jurisprudence, but definitely not a Doctor. I despise lawyers who sign things “esquire”

@chgoliz

In Britain, higher level doctors go by “Mr”, so that might be where you got that idea from.

@Purplecat

Interestingly, in the UK it’s just surgeons who deliberately don’t take the Doctor title.

This is getting weirder and weirder by every post. Can someone split this off? I have… questions.

@FGD135

Americans are weirder about this sort of stuff than Austrians, and that’s saying something.

Pinging @Doctor_Faustus for a specific monologue.
