[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that it's ridiculous, especially because I know two dumb EdD's. I'll call you Doctor if you graduated from med school.[/quote]

Normally, I don't care if people call me Dr. or not.  But, me, with my PhD in physics, require you to call me Dr.  Why?  because if you will be an a-hole, I will to.

Dr. X[/quote]

^Your hubris on demonstration here shows you have a lot more a-hole in you than education.

In common vernacular around the world, the word "doctor" typically is conferred upon someone with a medical degree of some sort.

If you require your co-workers to refer to you as Dr. in a non-medical environment you are an egomaniac.

Dr. X my a$$. [/quote]

..and before you reply with a pithy comment, be willing to confess how YOU refer to others in your workplace.  Do you call the admin specialist "MR. Admin" and the cleaning crewmember as "MS Cleaner"?  Bet you don't … they are just Suzy, or Bob, or John to you.[/quote]
