[QUOTE = "mostzipf, post: 12756085, member: 16068"] I strongly suspect that you are an imposter, my dear randy! the dr title in the anglo-american region is PhD (for medical MD and engineer EngD), but not "DPhil", as you wrote. you should be better informed if you are already prone to swagger. here, too, there are not many cases sitting in the forum, which can be impressed by an English-style, slacking complex.

I see you're still watering down the forum with posts about which language to use, mostzipf.
Very well, since you can't let it go and move on, you're right, in AMERICAN English the title is PhD.
HOWEVER, it is DPhil at English universities like Oxford and St Andrews, which is where I was reading philosophy - which is how studying there is said in the Queen's English.
Since you won't take my word for it, you should ask the member from Dublin if I'm telling you the truth, and then take the advice of those who agree with me that the best thing you can do for yourself AND the forum is to ignore me.
Meanwhile, this quote from Wikipedia should help clear this up for you.
A
Doctor of Philosophy (
PhD ,
Ph.D. , or
DPhil ;
Latin philosophiae doctor or
doctor philosophiae ) is the highest university degree that is conferred after a course of study by universities in most countries. PhDs are awarded for programs across the whole breadth of academic fields. As an earned research degree, those studying for a PhD are usually required to produce original research that expands the boundaries of knowledge, normally in the form of a
thesis or dissertation, and defend their work against experts in the field.
