RE: Guess in same way you should only be "Duke of Wymbourne"

Agreed he earned it, though he only gets to use it once. You are either Dr. West or Roger West, Ph.D. Coincidentally, this topic came up in a recent repeat of 'Car Talk' and I agree with Tom & Ray that 'Dr' should be reserved for the medical profession. I've worked with many technical Ph.Ds over the years, probably more than I realize, as none ever went by 'Dr' though a few had Ph.D on their business cards, but not many. Even if Roger West was a medical doctor with a doctorate in philosophy that double appleation is not correct though Roger West, MD, Ph.D might apply.

As to my moniker, astute readers probably know I am not really noble (though I like to think so in mind and deed). And we never, ever talk about the 12th Duke of Wymbourne.
