I just realized I was about 3 minutes behind. I rewound a few times when I thought Biden might have stuttered.

I'm caught up now.

Honorary Doctorate and she actually has people call her "Doctor"?

That's the dumbest shit ever.

Even when people get honorary degrees from places like Harvard they have the decency to not go around telling everyone they graduated from Harvard.

If this isn't fake news - "doctor" Jill Biden just made my list.
Honorary degrees are horseshit.

Education I think.
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 wouldn't choose to have a heart attack on the plane.

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.
