I can find Krakow and Krackow used interchangeably on a few legitimate sites, even spelled both ways on the same sites (!), but ultimately, wheelessonline uses Krackow, and I trust them most. It does seem to be orthopaedic-related, though!

Howdy, Hayseed!

I was just thinking that about the only time I use 1/2 rather than .5 is in the case of ages, and dosages, as in "1/2 tablet twice a day". Lots of scales are digital nowadays, so poundage gets the .5 from me!

I don't know if that's right, but it sure seems natural to me, and I've never been dinged for it.

I have found that since I have been working on-line, that the resources are endless.  Sometimes if you can break the phrase up, that helps a lot!  Again, KUDOS to you all!  It is so worth it to post here , if you know what I mean!

love the *colon fetish* thing. I have a doc that would have me putting commas after every other word. I ignore them, but just because he says them bothers me. I have no verbatim accounts either and I think it would drive me bananas if I did! But then, I may get more lines if I put in everything the doc says and the way he says it... lol. I hope you get the proper response from your QA! Have a good rest of the weekend...lobstering! (just kidding).

You might find assurance in the fact that (according to QuickLook) Lortab is only available with 500 along with the 5, so the 500 might be understood.  But, I would flag if you are unsure.

the measurement precedes the noun - as in 4-mm mole versus a mole 4 mm in diameter.  It should always be abbreviated mm when an exact measurement is given, i.e. 4 mm versus a few millimeters (in case that's what you're asking).

Double and triple adjectives describing a noun are always hypenated. so agree with PC post.

hyphenated words.

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.

"He sustained a laceration just below the lower lip that is through and through into the upper portion..."  I'm assuming since through and through is not modifying in this case, that I do not hyphenate, but I just want to be sure.  Thanks!

I just got a note from QA telling me that fractions are not hyphenated.   Should be 1 1/2 and not 1-1/2.   This just does not even look right to me!  Have I been doing this wrong for the past 12 years?

Depends on your client's preferences of course, but according to BOS:

Hyphenation. It is no longer necessary (or preferred) to hyphenate designations of Americans who are identified by their ethnicity, race, or nationality of origin, either in the noun form or the adjectival form."
