I don’t know how “lunatic” this is. But this was an ad I just saw pop up, which is an amazing slap in the face to everyone who has worked for that title.

I have a JD. The degree you get from law school, at least here in the US.

The “D” literally stands for “doctor”… no one ever calls you doctor though.

Not that I use the degree any more. I work in IT now!

And I have a master's degree but no one calls me "Master".

Actually, back in the 90s we had a baby sitter that was quite old school and insisted on calling my dad "Doctor" (he has a PhD in materials science).

JDs may not get called doctor, but at least they can get called esquire which sounds way cooler. Like some kind of spy or something
