It's called multi-tasking
Not the way we give it out now it sure as fuck isn't.
Honorary degrees are horseshit.
So if you have a heartattack on a plane and someone yells "Is there a doctor on the plane!?!" and she runs up next to you and gives you an emergency lesson on conjugating verbs - you gonna be cool with that?

What if they’re a dentist bruv?!?
seriously though most Academic Doctors only use the honorific in academia proper and all my old professors preferred “professor“ in the class room.

I was wrong she did a real one at the university of Delaware.
Real ones I won’t shit talk. Regardless of the field, they’re not easy.
I wouldn't choose to have a heart attack on the plane.

Apologize to her now.
I just got paid to load ammo so yes.
Education and advancement aren't synonymous. Just ask Lord Gates.
No I believe it's real. It's an Ed D like Bill Cosby. People are just annoyed that she's not a medical doctor, but teachers with an EdD are sometimes addressed as doctor. I really don't think it's as big of a deal as they're making it out. It's just that she's being addressed that way in a context outside of her profession.
I'm just being a shit, obviously
But all the doctorate professors that I've known all went by "Professor"
"Doctor" is a medical field address.
She is neither.
Not that I really care - probably won't see her again for 4 years
My mother is a middle school teacher and I have heard her speak of several people with EdDs over the years as "Dr. So-and-So". So idk.
Your mother is a saint.
Her EdD Dr friends are pretentious.
I think it’s all based on the individual person’s desire to use the title.
