    In a sense it sounds like saying "ATM machine" ....
    ...or "PIN number"...

    In my opinion, Dr. is a title of respect ...
    Using both is redundant and likely also pretentious.

    Agreed on all counts. "Doctor Strangelove" verbally or in reference to the person; " "Strangelove, MD/PhD/XYZ" when written out in a directory or as their John Hancock or something like that.

      I always thought it was <title><full name><specialization> so Dr. John Smith, DDS indicates he's a dentist, while Dr. John Smith, DTh would be a highly educated preacher.

      My brother-in-law is Dr. <firstname><lastname>, ME which is NOT a Medical Examiner (in his case, thought it would apply for someone else.) He's a doctor of mechanical engineering. (My Jewish mother got her wish - my sister married a doctor!)

      So, Dr. John Smith, John Smith MD, and Dr. John Smith MD are all correct usages of the title/specialization. The differences and "right vs. wrong" therefore must be regional differences, and as such really shouldn't matter. So, to those that complain it isn't how they think it should be, I have nothing but pity for their ignorance. (Of course, if they weren't ignorant about it, they wouldn't complain and you'd have nothing to post!)
      I will not be pushed, stamped, filed, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own. --#6

        And Tiffany Aching is from Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men and a couple other books.
        Yes, but Tiffany, Preston, and "conundrum" come from I Shall Wear Midnight.
