Of course not. They have servants do it for them.

They're called "heralds", dumbass.
And they're quite expensive.

When I get my PG and eventually my FG, I'm going to sign all of my posts with it. Hell, I might go for the PhD...

This thread cracked me up. My wife has a friend with a PhD in English who also has a hyphenated last name and insists that people refer to her as "Dr. FirstName Extremelylong-hyphenated last name". She also gets pissed if you don't say THE Ohio State University.
Just tell her to finish making your latte and shut up.

This thread appears to be about Yuki mocking people for being pretentious. However if you look a little deeper you'll notice that Yuki has reminded us of the fact that he is a lawyer and set himself above other lawyers because he's not as pretentious as them.

We do not do titles here, we don't do sir and we have a respectful form of "you" but no one uses it since it's considered rude.
We went away with all the honorifics sometime in the 60's only guy that has a title is the king.

We're suckers for titles over here. It's quite stupid. They even get it added to their ID and Passport afaik.
Yeah I did notice that in Germany!
I've had dealings with two doctors of engineering there, great people but everywhere you looked it was Dr this, doctor that, administrators were very particular about adressing them properly too.
I was full on expecting them to whip out a probe and start diagnosing the old Volkswagens as we went to lunch.
