[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s pretentious to use Dr. if you aren’t a medical doctor. [/quote]

Yeah, no. I earned a PhD and the title associated with my degree is Doctor. It is different than an MD but still earned.[/quote]
Calling someone by a title is a form of respect. Your PhD may have earned you respect among your colleagues, so they call you Dr.  The rest of the people you run into on a daily basis couldn't care less, and will continue to call you by your name.  Your extra years of school mean nothing to us.  I call my medical doctor "Dr" because he is performing a service for me.  If some rando who lives in my neighborhood wants to be called Dr. instead of Mr/Mrs. they can kick rocks.
[b]Your PhD gets you at title in your professional setting, where it actually applies.  [/b]That's it.  If you try to force it anywhere else it just tells us you are pretentious and not someone we want to associate with.[/quote]

I'm the one who called Dr. Reid "Dr. Reid" and I do believe I'm speaking about her in a professional capacity. This is...her job.[/quote]
