Absolute garbage. This f*cking moron thinks being a doctor is exclusive only to those in the medical field. As if M.D. or "medical doctor" doesn't exist as a distinguishing factor of what kind of doctor somebody is. It's maddening schoolhouse bullsh*t as thousands die every day because people didn't take medical doctors seriously. Now they say it's important to keep the term, which existed as an academic title to begin with, exclusive to the medical field.
Get absolutely f*cked. |
I hadn’t seen that article. I’m surprised the WSJ even ran that ****.
It’s been the customary honorific since the onset of the degree. It’s not even remotely controversial. Talk about reaching for straws! I understand your objections as well, exo. I agree with your points. I’m just adding that it’s completely groundless as well. It’s not in accordance with the proper use of American English.
Edit: actually after re-reading your post you also made the same point I’m making as well.
