[intrigueing]

Blatant troll is blatant, but I can't resist: it's named that way because when someone introduces himself as "the Doctor", 99% of people will say "Doctor who?" (or "Doctor what?", but that's a different matter). Approximately zero people would ever say "Doctor Whom?"

Also, I don't think it is grammatically incorrect? I see your logic, but I don't think "whom" is the one correct term in this case because "Doctor" is just a name/title. In fact, while my memory of grammar rules is admittedly crap, I don't think "Doctor Whom" would even be *a* correct phrase.

+1. I still find the secret amusing though.

In fact, while my memory of grammar rules is admittedly crap, I don't think "Doctor Whom" would even be *a* correct phrase.

It would be a correct phrase if you were using "doctor" as a verb, e.g. "I doctor him when he's ill," "You doctor whom?"

But that's obviously not how it's being used in the show's title, so you're right and OP is wrong. :-)

[inkdust]

Yeah, any sentence makes more sense with who, like "Doctor who travels" or "Doctor who saves people." Unless it was like..."Doctor whom I love." Or "Doctor whom I follow around." Which I don't think is what's intended. And that second option ends with a preposition so :P

Yeah, blatant troll is blatant.

[vethica]

Doctor around whom I follow?

[inkdust]

God, I just couldn't bear to write that. I've got a major bone to pick with those dudes who decided English should be more like Latin...

[elephantinegrace]

Actually, if someone said they were "The Doctor," I would probably ask, "What kind of doctor?" Or I guess "Doctor what?" if I wanted to shorten the conversation.

[vethica]

Thinking about it, if someone claimed to be "the Doctor", my reaction would probably be "Which doctor?" :\

I told the which doctor I was in love with you...

[kamino_neko]

To which he'd probably reply 'No, the Witchdoctor is somebody else entirely. Nice guy.'
