I usually go with "Professor"...@ Student,<br />I usually go with "Professor" as a substitute for "Dr." when Ph.D. status is negative or unknown if the person in question does anything remotely resembling teaching classes, mentoring students, or performing research at a postsecondary educational institution of any sort.<br /><br />If I can't get away with that, and if the person doesn't have a military rank, professional title, or title of nobility, I'm sort of stuck with "Mr." or "Ms." as the default. I don't really think there's any way around that.quasarpulsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762550806982089851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-44668791560360606092009-08-09T11:26:14.854-05:002009-08-09T11:26:14.854-05:00All said and done, I got 65 / 143.
