However, I know a lot of MBA's and PHD's who don't entitle themselves,
and I don't think you should either. We're all simple folks here. As a
matter of fact, I met an OBE the other day, and he doesn't use it (Order
Of The British Empire). Come to think of it, Paul McCartney is not only
an OBE but a Knight of the Garter, and he doesn't call himself Sir Paul,
or add OBE to his name.
It's really unnecessary, and a trifle pretentious, and compared to an
OBE, PHD or Knight of the Garter, it ain't much.
