To be clear, Mr. or Ms. unless in an academic setting, then when surrounded by PhDs, "doctor" it is. If it's good enough for tenure, it should be good enough for everyone else.
It may be an Okie thing though, you may have me there.
LLB degrees haven't been passed out for quite some time, so perhaps the reason for avoidance of the term has faded?
