My old boss, and yes he's still the boss, has "Dr" as his first name, and "...PhD" as his last name. Such a douchebag...

“It is advisable for you to double check the standard in your profession/discipline for the use of “Dr.” as a designation in your e-mail signature.
In only a few professional areas is it considered acceptable to use both “Dr.” and your doctoral degree. The preferred convention is to include the degree abbreviation at the end to indicate to everyone that you hold a doctoral degree, and to use Dr. as you would use Mr. or Ms.”
In the military I’ve seen several officers try and “pad” their signature line by including Rank AND degree. . .
Captain (Dr.) John Smith MD, MC USAF. (MD = Medical Doctor / MC= Medical Corps)
He is basically saying I’m a doctor 3 times.
I’ll return these documents and ask them to complete all correspondence using the accepted format as specified in the “Tongue and Quill.”
