does anyone know what 'LD' means after a persons name?

[momophile]

like Phd or MD, but different.

[newcriminal]

1. LAW Doctorate

[KitchenWitch]

3. nope

that is JD (juris doctor).

[momophile]

5. that is NOT what it means?

[KitchenWitch]

8. JD is law degree

no clue about LD.

[momophile]

4. thank you!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Nope

I know J.D. is Juris Doctor (law degree).

[newcriminal]

20. Yes JD is juris doctor

but they use ld as well. Husband is a lawyer and I looked it up to make sure. I believe jd is used more often tho. I think LD is used more for licenced diatician from what I looked up.

[MissB]

6. .

learning disabled?

Lowly dork?

Loves ducks?

[Redstone]

7. Lightweight Dingdong? If so, I should start using it.

Sorry I couldn't help any more than that.

9. LawDog

[FredScuttle]

10. Let's Dance!

Whoo! Soul Patrol! (sorry, couldn't resist. Too excited over the prospect of a guy who looks like my podiatrist winning American Freaking Idol)

[kwassa]

11. Learning Disabled?

or Leadership Development?

[yewberry]

12. It can mean licensed dietician, I think.

Also, some programs have bachelors degrees in Leadership Development.

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

13. I think the designator for dieticians is RD

as in Registered Dietician

[momophile]

17. if it weren't for you, KitchenWitch,

I'd believe everything everyone told me!

Can you follow me into every thread and make sure I'm not being misled?

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

21. LOL

I am a know-it-all...that is one of my fatal flaws.

[yewberry]

19. True that, but

I've seen both.

I wonder if they're different somehow?

[momophile]

14. Licensed Dietician makes the most sense so far

although 'Let's Dance' was a good one too.

[KitchenWitch]

18. Dietician is RD

[Harley Quinn]

27. Do they differentiate?

Like nurses...LPN/CNA/RN?

[KitchenWitch]

31. See the following site

[momophile]

32. thanks, KitchenWitch.

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

33. Anytime momophile!

:hi:

[liberalhistorian]

15. Licensed Dick???

Sorry, feeling a little impish tonight. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Living Dangerously

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

22. What was the context in which you saw this?

[momophile]

25. someone responding to an article in 'Cooks Illustrated'

She also has 'Phd' listed.

And the woman does seem to know about food.

[KitchenWitch]

28. I would guess it would be the dietician then

Around here (Minnesota) they seem to use RD. I have never seen LD before.

[newcriminal]

30. then obviously it stands for

lightweight dingdong. I love dingdongs that creamy filling and chocolate covered cake.

Don't know if they put LD at the end of their names, but it is abbreviated LD.

[mzteris]

Leadership Developer: used in the Military
Legislative Director: used in Government Politics
Liberal Democrat: used in Government Politics

Licensed Dietitian

Do you have any context you can give us?

Oh yeah - LD can be an abbreviation for LORD.... :rofl:
