Yes, M'Lord

[r04DiE]

My wife is Prof, Dr, Mrs and Ms......she might take issue.

Tell her she'd be much better off as just herself.

 

[r04DiE]

Although she's worked hard to earn three of those titles.

I am sure she has, and I am sure that they are all well deserved

Dr. could be retained, for doctors.

I've no problem with Dr being used by somebody with some form of Doctorate. I do object to it's use by physicians - dentists with mere Bachelors degrees are called 'Doctor' these days.

Well, yes. He was married to my mother though, so all above board.

Better married to your Mother than any udders.
My old friend Gareth had a credit card made with Rt Hon...etc when his Dad was made a Lord. Dad passed away and the title, so he's back to plain old Mr with a Q.C. suffix. Signed, me B.A.hons.
Often wonder about Doctors of a certain status - ie: surgeons, who become 'Mister' (Is the term 'Mrs' / Ms valid in this instance too?) in a hospital environment.

Nobody needs to be called Dr. What's the point?

 

[Drago]

To show that they've earned a Doctorate?

Why would they need to do that?

I thought the people we habitually call doctors are actually only graduates but if they do the doctorate stuff they drop the Dr title and become mister. (I'm applying the public schools are actually private schools rule. After all, this is Britain, don't you know!)

 

[Drago]

Why not, if that's their thing? If you don't want to be called Doctor then no one's forcing you to study for a Doctorate, you don't have to join in. We'll just carry on calling you 'peasant'.

They should rename Dr Who to Dr What's the point.

 

[Drago]

Anyway, I'm thinking Earl would be good. Baron is a bit common, Duke is a bit poncey, but Earl is a happy middle ground, your grace.

 

[stephec]

She does answer to Trish as well.

I can't imagine what she calls you.

 

[stephec]

They should rename Dr Who to Dr What's the point.

Surely it'd just be' Who?'

 

[Drago]

Good thinking. I'll need to accessorise to match the title.

I wonder what sort of bike an Earl rides?

Duke of Earl?
