Another misaddressing example, this time from MAEU!

Government universities in Burma do not hire foreigners apart
from visiting professors when new programmes are established
like YIE's MBA programme as it brought in visiting professors
for launching. In general, faculty members of public Burmese
universities cannot have fake PhDs. They might have earned
PhD degrees from overseas universities far less prestigious
than University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin or Yale,
or sometimes they have earned PhDs locally, still they have
to earn degrees even if they got into PhD programmes via the
back doors.

But either web site designers or themselves still do not know
how to address their degrees. For example, see below:

'Dr. Su Myat Htwe     Ph.D. (Aero)     Lecturer/Head
Dr. Aye Myat Mon     Ph.D. (Aero)     Lecturer'
[http://www.most.gov.mm/maeu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=27]

Should be

Dr. S. Htwe, Ph.D. (Aeronautical Engineering), Imperial College (for example)
Dr. A. Mon, Ph.D. (Aerospace Engineering), University of Bristol (for example)'
