OK, I have to take offense at this. Why does someone with a Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree any less deserving of the title Doctor than a Doctor of Medicine???? Why shouldn't people have a right to be addressed by whatever title makes them comfortable? Isn't the reason you addressed the person as Mr./Ms. Smith to show respect, so why be offended if they inform you that they prefer another title?
