Why are they so nuts about an accented syllable? It’s like when teachers insist on being called Dr.
I know a lot of PhD physicists, mathematicians and the like. None of them go on about being a Dr.
I’m happy to use the honorific. But a person all twitchy about it seems like someone who deep down, knows they aren’t entitled to it.
Like Dr Naomi Wolf and Dr Sebastian Gorka and Dr Condoleeza Rice. Losers.
