    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.

      I bet she was.

      I’ve never meet someone who insisted on being called doctor that was anything except fun and reasonable to work with.

      They love it when you let them know you also have a PhD…

        I was being serious. She made art history–which is normally a fairly dry subject, particularly when you’re covering art before 1100CE–a really fun and engaging subject.

        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).

    Y’all joke, I had a college professor on the first day of class say “if you want to call me by my first name, that’s fine. My first name is Doctor.”

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

    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.”

    Well, actually the “pronoun” would be “The Doctor”. And since it applies in both contexts, it’s applicable to both. However it’s really not a pronoun as much as it’s A unique Proper-noun/noun/pronoun tri-brid.

    Basically, it’s all really confusing, we should all just acknowledge this as a Quantum-noun and move on.
