If the academic title of a lecturer is Prof. Dr. John Smith, what would be the most appropriate way to address him in an e-mail?
@Region Philbis,
I was going to post that, but I figured the OP wouldn't get the reference.
Oh, the Pain, the Pain.
@chai2,
What about "Dear Professor Smith"? Is it OK?
@Nat093,
What did I say?
Did I say "Dear Professor Smith"?
No, I did not.
You address him or her as Dr. Smith.
@Region Philbis,
Hey, ya gotta let'em know you're not horsing around.
@Nat093,
Between doctor and professor, doctor wins out as a title. But professors don't always have doctorates. If you know for sure that your professor does not, then
Dear Professor Smith is perfectly fine.
Stumble It!
