People who use 2 initials instead of a first name are generally wankers.

Also those who use a middle initial to make themselves sound all grand or clever.

Grown adults putting their academic qualifications on the end when they're no longer in academia and in many cases only have an honours or a masters though.

Any strong opinions on R.L. Stein, who's probably the most famous of these (top 5 at least)?

A sample of the top of my head:

AA Milne, BB King, JG Ballard, PJ Harvey, PJ Proby, JK Rowling, JK Galbraith, HP Lovecraft, MC Ren.

I can't really discern a pattern based on that sample.

He's not even the most famous R.L.

Shut up, I do it because I don't like my first name because it's either incongruously posh or the name of a playground snitch.

At an old job some nice lady with a proper alphabet took it all the way to the top because people in the call center weren't reading out the letters on her name and putting them on the correspondence. Someone put her on speakerphone once and she was saying I didn't work so hard for my education so you could disrepect me like this and demanded to know the qualifications of everyone she spoke to

She fucked up the database because she kept persuading new employees to input her alphabet into all the fields and it would save over the information in her file so her invoices were getting sent out to F. Ed. Fu.cks. Sa.Ke. Ed.

Naturally when traced none of these letters were real qualifications they were all degree mill stuff. Line manager still said it'd be on me if I didn't call her 'doctor' tho
