I have noticed many "docs" on SB. What kind of doctor are you? Do you self-identify as a "doc" or "dr" on SB? Why, or why not?
As an aside, "Doctor," as a title, is originally an agentive noun of the verb docēre ('to teach'). It is used as a designation for a person who has obtained a doctorate-level degree. The first academic title of doctor was applied to scholars of law. The degree and title were not applied to scholars of other disciplines until the 13th century.
