[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just as an M.D. is viewed as something more than a Master's Degree, so, too, is a J.D. more than a master's.

A couple of years ago, I ran into an old flame from college.  I joking said, "So, Mr. [Smith], it's great to see you."  He said, "Uh, that's Dr. [Smith.]"

I said, "In that case, you may call me Esquire."

Unless you are a professor who lives a life of an academic, I think the use of Dr. or Esq. is pretentious - which is why I don't use it my every day life, even when it is offered as a "title" I can check off for myself.  Old college flame is not in any way shape or form an academic.  He didn't spend any more years in school than I did, even if he does have a master's and a Ph.D. in - wait for it - Computer Science.[/quote]

Esquire is a title used to address people, not to refer to oneself.  IOW, you put it on correspondence addressed to someone, but do not sign anything as "Esq."

And you are definitely as bad as Old Flame.  Pathetic.[/quote]
