something that annoys me

..."Dr." in front of the name of anybody but a medical doctor, veterinarian, or dentist.

The rest of us just don't deserve to be called "doctor" and it's laughably pompous for academics to insist the we be called such.

That is all.

I agree, and that is why I rarely call anyone who is not a medical doctor "Doctor". One of those rare cases is with Mike Holtgren. I call him "Dr. Holtgren" to differentiate him from his sons when speaking of him (since Jerry is known as "Mr. Holtgren" at our high school, Shawn's at Bethel, and their family went to the church I attend while the kids were growing up [before I met any of them].
