This is one of those piddly little things that has just stuck in my craw for years. This thread was actually a result of a death notice in today's paper.
So here's what is in my craw. A friend of mine from high school went to college after high school. We all did and all got degrees. He went on to dental school and worked as a dentist.
Now we're all retired and enjoying life. This friend, when he sends out emails, always uses the "DDS" following his signature.
OK, I get it. He was a dentist, but now he's just a retired old bum like the rest of us who went to school together.
Am I wrong to let something like this get to me? What say you? Is that being pretentious or am I just being too sensitive?
