It should probably be Prof. Tanenbaum or at least Dr Tanenbaum.
- hyperliner 12y agoHe will probably appreciate it either way. But the point is well taken.
- Jare 12y agoHeh, I can explain that. :) I wrote Prof. first but then thought it sounded like I had actually attended his classes, so I removed it. Then, in spanish there is no different wording for PhD vs MD, so we normally only use "doctor" as a title for physicians, or in extremely formal circumstances for other academics. I have always known him as "Andrew Tanenbaum" since the late 80s, so I thought Mr. would be a proper form to show respect. Thanks for your comment!
