So much for my trip to Gliese 581, guess I can cancel that liquid hydrogen order.

Excellent article, Amy! I think I have to agree with everything in it.

I wanna read that article when my brain cells have reassembled themselves.
After copyedits.
Because there is nothing quite like copyedits to make you feel monumentally STUPID.

I didn't have much time over the weekend, but I did a bit of editing. I killed chapter 11 in the process.

I hit my first WTF? moment in the copyedits. CE questioned my use of the title "Dr." for a character who has a Ph.D., not an M.D. stating that people with Ph.D.s don't commonly use Dr.

Well, Miss Manners would agree in theory, but she also says to address people the way they want to be addressed.

The principal of my Elementary School was Dr. Forest Fernkauf and he had a Ph.D. in handwriting. He made the films we watched when learning to write cursive.

My dad never used Dr. before his name, his Ph.D. is in physics. The only one who did was his mother. Proud mothers FTW!
I suspect in some fields, using Dr. may be more prevalent, but I work at a university and I don't know anyone who actually does.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Every prof with a PhD that I had in college used Dr, and my high school principal used it.
