say to use re-cover (to cover again not recover from surgery) and re-create (not recreate, meaning to play). Or use it if the resulting word will be awkward as in re-x-rayed or re-emphasize or re-introduce. This is on page 330 of BOS II.
But even though it's in print, your QA may still disagree with you. :) nm
this is not true, the prefixes para- and pari-
Subject: this is not true, the prefixes para- and pari-
are not always inter-changeable.
For instance in this case it is paralabial, parilabial does not bring any results.
Para- does not always mean the same as pari-.

The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.

African-American hyphenated?
Subject: African-American hyphenated?
I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.
