Is using proper titles in social situations pretentious?

Oh, sorry. I figured most knew. There are only a couple I'd rather not figure it out because of trolling history but last night's posts tell me it's too late for that. I'm sure feigned innocence would result from a call-out, and it's not worth it.

Thanks, I do get the difference now. A consultant is a specialist. We would say something like "My doctor sent me to a specialist for a consult" so it's kind of the same. But we would still call the specialist a Doctor.
