Sue Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well you could always do a Gillian McKeith and do a correspondence course to get one :))Edited to say: I never finished mine either, and it was a bit of a wrench the day I chucked out the filing cabinet full of raw data :)) but I hope if I had submitted it I wouldn't be sticking PhD after my name at every opportunity .......

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's v. bad form to use a doctorate unless one is in medicine or academia.

louisiana Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 People who fill entire websites with sentences that all end with exclamation marks! And even headings! And sub-headngs! All with exclamation marks! Everything! An exclamation mark! At the end! Hundreds of them! On ever page! Why!?!?!

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 But they are bad formOn a typographical note, my pet hate is underlining... yuck yuck yuck It only exists because typewriters couldn't really emphasise in any other way even if it was ugly. And now it's redundant.

candj Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I don't like underlining myself. Looks too messy. For emphasis I use all CAPS. Easier and less hassle. I also wondered about Sue's xxxxxxx. I always thought she was giving big kisses to someone before she disagreed with them.
