Wish this would happen more often. The world is full of people claiming to be Architects who are not licensed or trained.
And then there is the appropriation of the title by the IT profession... First it's "Engineer", then "Architect"... What's next, an IT "Surgeon"?
If your profession can't use English to describe your job, then make up a new term for it, don't appropriate a clearly understood and legally defined title from a completely different profession...
