I'm at a conference today. Everyone un the room has at least a master's degree. Name tags are pre-printed. 99% of us have our first names on the tag. One lady 's tag says "Dr. Jennifer"  |

I'd ask what she's a doctor of.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I wonder if that might be her last name. Jennifer is an English surname.  |

Do "my liege" and "my lord" count as letters?  |

I often flaunt the letters behind my name. I worked hard for that honor, and I wear it with pride. deminmaine, SOB ROFL! Heck, maybe I should add "B" to mine! |

One client of mine goes by Dr. Bob Smith, Ph.D.
That's a bit redundant, select either one. I know that his Ph.D. is from a mill and that he's not a medical doctor. |

I had a friend/co-worker who had a Ph.D. in chemistry. She was not pretentious about having a Ph.D., but she had it on her business card. She also had a hard to pronounce last name. So everyone just called her "Dr. Ruth". Some of us older folks who remember Dr. Ruth the sex therapist got a kick out of that.
