I wonder how it makes someone feel when they have a higher title, but are referred to as, “MR.”
My father has the title, Doctor, yet at times, people call him Mr. My brother has the title, Rabbi, yet again, sometimes people call him, Mr.
I asked them if it was insulting to them, but they just find it humorous. They know what they earned, and they know their title, so if someone doesn’t know better, and calls them something else, it doesn’t really affect them.
I guess if someone is aware of their title, but purposely calls them by a different name, well, that’s a whole other story…
I’m not speaking for all, just people I happen to know very well 🙂
