You are only forbidden from calling yourself a Doctor, if you aren't one.
Or to say it with an example:
If I call you Dr. Kidicious, then it is legal (even if you don't correct me)
If you call yourself Dr. Kidicious, this would be illegal, however
(it even has some historical roots to falsely attribute someone with an academic degree ... till a few decades ago, the wife of a medical doctor was commonly attributed as "Frau Doktor" (i.e., "Miss Doctor"), even if she, herself, didn't possess an academic degree ... fortunately this has fallen in disuse, now that it is quite normal for women to have academic degrees on their own)Last edited by Proteus_MST; December 13, 2017, 05:47.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

No accusor even took a polygraph, and no evidence was turned over for examination. That's what progressives call progress.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
