agree  Michel AZARIA: non, pas Ph. D ce n'est pas une civilité. Quand à Pr, j'aime mieux, il manquerait au moins (Pr)of.

agree  SJLD: not the only misspelling - Mis too for Miss - by the way PhD is Doctor of Philosophy not physics, although you can have a PhD in physics

agree  Thierry Renon: Je laisserais tomber aussi, en m'arrêtant à Dr avec les points de suspension, ça suffit ! Culturellement, ce n'est pas aussi "important" en France de préciser son niveau d'étude (même un petit peu prétentieux ?), surtout pour recevoir du courrier !

  -> Merci Thierry! Tout à fait d'accord! Je trouve cela très prétentieux.
