      If somebody starts with that “call me doctor” stuff, I’ll insist they’ll call me engineer. It’s also a legally protected title.

      What if we move in the opposite direction and go with doctrix?

      And I mean for everybody. Like a gender-bending neutral.

        neutral

        What makes a man turn neutral? Is it lust for money? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

    A PhD is something that you pour a lot of time in so you can tell most people “nah, just the_third, that’s fine” and a few select people “That’s Dr. the_third to you.”

    I had an art history professor that insisted on being called doctor; she said she’d put in a lot of time and spent a lot of money to get that degree, and so she wanted to get her money’s worth.

    She was a lot of fun.

        No; adjunct faculty can also rightly be called professor without having achieved a doctorate. I’ve had a few professors that had BAs and MFAs (esp. since I’m not sure that there are PhD programs for fine arts).

            Could just be the schools that I’ve gone to, could be some weird thing that the US does that no one else does (kinda like SI v. metric).
