Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?

Double up. Assert dominance. Demand to be referred to as ‘Mister Doctor’. Hmm… ‘Doctor Mister’? I think I like Mr. Dr. better.

If you’re a professor with a doctorate in Germany, the official way to refer to you is Professor Doctor [last name]. If you hold two doctorates it’s Professor Doctor Doctor.
Professor is also a serious and registered title in Germany. You can’t just start a school and start handing out professorships without oversight and approval.
