Like, okay, I can understand if you have a consistent argument for using Dr. for professional doctorates and not research doctorates. But if you use Dr. for a Ph.D. then you should for an Ed.D. as well. Then you have the weird thing where we call M.D.s Dr. but not J.D.s. Why is that? Is it just because we have such a disdain for J.D.s in society as a profession? And what about a D.N.P.? Should they be called Dr.? That could just get confusing.
People seem pretty comfortable dismissing education when it's convenient. That reminds me, I got my car inspected recently and the "mechanic" told me my brake lines were leaking and they needed fixed. So I need to find a post on the internet that says brake fluid actually makes brakes work WORSE, so I can show him.
