'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Why not call a PhD doctor?
Why not contravene any of the titling etiquette? It's not like logic can be applied.
I don't see any reason to bother, so I don't and won't. Others differ.
My sister didn't go by Dr. socially when she was living in the UK last, and I'm pretty sure my mother didn't socially when she worked there either.
I'm living with two doctors, and I only found out a few weeks after I moved in. The only time I've ever seen people use 'dr' is when they get post from academic departments and such.
I think if I were sending mail, I'd address it to Ms. Jane Doe, Ph.D., rather than Dr. Jane Doe.
MONKEY!
NOODLE!
MONKEY!
Is that Dr. Monkey or Monkey, PhD.?

See, that looks weird to me. I mean, if I didn't know there was a degree involved, obviously the prefix would be different, but if I knew they had a doctorate, and it was a formal letter, as opposed to a letter to an aquaintance, I'd use Dr as opposed to the suffix. My mom called all her doctorated instructors in education Dr. Whatever. Maybe my bias comes from my family, I don't know.
I do know I get referred to as Dr. Lastname several times a year. I'm not.
