Surely it's Doctor of Storytelling.

Not if it's Master Storyteller.

Apprentice, journeyman, and master are skilled labor grades.  There was no doctor of bricklaying.  Once we get to doctor we've moved from guild labor to academia.  Master is an overlap.

They're still there - my dad trained eventually as a master carpenter after he left the merchant navy. You still get master carpenters, cabinetmakers, joiners etc.

And the other trades are joining - there's now master plumbers and master electricians.

But not all doctors - surgeons were a guild, which is why they're still called "Mr" or "Miss" even though they have to become doctors first

I'll have to check with my dad. I know he has a bunch of tickets and qualifications but I'm not familiar with him officially being a master.

Another thing to add in with all the wrong names Brits use.

A joke that is explained is always a thousand times better. 

(Were you really explaining to me the difference between medieval guild and academia?)

Also, stupid question. Who makes those maps? How do you research the shoe-removal traiditions of each European and North African nation?
