I have been observing one pecularity particular to goans i.e. appending their professions before their names eg. Advocate..., Engineer ..., Architect.... Besides of course the sundry doctors whether of medicine or philosophy or plain honorary. No where in the rest of India is there such a standard practice except for doctors which is understandable. Can someone throw light about this practice? Is it a way to display class or superiority?Generally those who cannot command respect demand respect by displaying their qualifications in matters not connected with their subject.
