Re: PhD
What's the big deal with the Dr. prefix? I don't get it... we hardly use it - most students refer to us as "Prof. so and so"... and colleagues refer to us by our names - the title prefix is almost never used unless someone you don't know is formally introducing you at a conference - even then, when I've hosted other academics, sometimes, I've been specifically asked to only use their name in the introduction.
^ohhhhhh you don't know someone that I know...lol some people are just obsessed with the prefix. It makes them look and feel smart. They think that because of the prefix - they will be respected more.
SOmeone I know, I think is a NUT HEAD. She is sooooo obsessed with the Dr. prefix that she wants EVERYONE to call HER DAUGHTER DOCTOR!!!!!!!! just because she is now married to a dr. (her daughter has NOT EVEN taken any pre-med courses) LOL
