If they have DNP’s in Germany and one of them is a professor and also holds a PhD, would she – forgive me – be addressed as Frau Doktor Doktor Krankenschwester Professor So-und-So?
Where do you come up with these ideas?
It is simply an expansion on what is actually the case, and it is a reasonable question as to whether the general principle actually does carry this far. Though I think I should have written it as Frau Professor Doktor Doktor Krankenschwester. The above was influenced by a previous poster sticking the Professor at the end, which on further thought I don’t think is the usual.
Or are you doubting that they ever really say or write Frau Professor Doktor Doktor?
As to where I came up with it, besides it being true: I was forced to learn to read German at a level sufficient to (then, not now) mostly understand chemistry journals written in that language. Unfortunately the knowledge did not stick, but I did remember that.[/quote]
No, acutally i meant it in good humor. I speak pretty good Hochdeutsch myself and just found your rant hilarious. That is all.

Why even bother to respond after more than two whole weeks?
