re: People with the title of “Dr.” who aren’t doctors

quote:

Then a lawyer so should be called Dr. so and so

Make up your mind.

Does a lawyer have a doctorate or not?

Make up my mind? Why don't you make sense? You're not arguing logically. A lawyer has a "doctor of jurisprudence" degree, which historically has not been viewed the same as a PhD, but if you want to call lawyers "doctors", knock yourself out.

The title "Esquire" has no relation to "doctor" other than the fact that it too is a title. But then again, so is "Mr." I'd ask you "so what"?
