[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jill Biden. Doctor?[/quote] She has a doctorate, yes, so she is addressed as Doctor. She is neither a dentist nor a medical doctor, so unsure what your point is. [/quote] The AP Style Book has long been the guide for journalism etiquette. It states that the term doctor should be used for medical doctors only.[/quote] Not etiquette - AP Style doesn't dictate how you address people, only how certain newspapers write about them. And even there, AP Style allows you to use an honorific so long as there's no confusion about them being a medical doctor. Unless you're in a situation where you'd describe Jill Biden as simply Biden (which is what AP Style would dictate) it's not very relevant.[/quote]
