Why are you all so obsessed with this?
There has been plenty of general hinting within the family about the Dr thing but he is convinced that it is OK and (more worryingly) seems to think that he deserves it.
Not really my problem thankfully, just confirms my opinion really.
Seeing the comment above, I am reminded that I am actually ARSM. Sounds a bit like arse dunnit? 😀
I just put RCD after my name if anyone asks tut and shake head as to indicate there complete lack of knowledge then reply "right clever dick"

I get some strange looks though when I hand my business card over in its abbreviated form.
Quite a while ago now, I was working on site which necessitated a hotel stayover. I asked a peon to sort it out for me (cos I was actually on site when I realised it was going to spill to a second day) and the wag put my title down as "Lord" on the booking form.
Whilst I enjoyed my brief peerage, I don't feel that the hotel afforded me the due degree of respect.
More seriously,
In my field I guess the closest thing would be "MCSE" and variations thereof. I don't use these, because I never got around to getting the qualification. As far as I can tell, the only reason for me to do it would be so that my company could reach engineer targets for partner status and, well, put letters after its name.
