      Only people with Ph.D.'s in hard sciences and medical doctors should be called "doctor." This has been my consistent position for over a decade, as the execrable @michaeljknowles can attest.

      I speak as a "Juris Doctor." No lawyer should be called doctor. It's idiotic. In law school, one of the students had a doctorate in a liberal art. When the professor addressed the student but forgot the honorific, another student piped up, and said, "You should say 'Doctor.'"

          The professor quickly replied, "If I have a heart attack right now, can you do anything about it?" The student demurred. The professor replied, "Then I'm not calling you doctor." This is basically my perspective on this asinine issue.

          If you're at a dinner and somebody introduces himself as "Dr. Smith," you'd be rather upset to learn that he had a doctorate in musicology if you were to suffer a stroke at the table.

          Furthermore, to compare a doctorate in education (or law, for that matter) to a medical degree is the height of absurdity. Having watched my wife do the latter, it simply isn't comparable.

          Also, chiropractors are not doctors.

          They go to medical school, and are very knowledgeable about health. They most certainly are doctors !

          I have the same reaction to calling the charlatan Sharpton “Reverend”.

          That makes a lot of sense, as both racism and sexism tend to be an expression of deep-seated insecurity about one’s masculinity. I hope you feel better soon.

          A Juris Doctor is an undergraduate degree, so of course they shouldn’t be called doctor. The person with a doctorate in law should be.

          JD stands for “juris doctor” or “doctor of jurisprudence.” JDs are 3-4 year post graduate degrees, not undergrad degrees. No such thing as a “doctorate in law.” Calling a JD “doctor” is pretentious. I have one, BTW.
