Subject: African-American or African American

For a long time, ASR was typing African-American.  Now, it's typing African American without the hyphen.  Does anyone know which way is correct?


Thank you so much in advance.  I hope you're having a great transcription day and getting at least some easy docs.  I can't believe resident changeover is just a few months away.  Oh, how I dread that....

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.

what you typed in your post is above this line - with 4 typos in 8 words - you are only 50% in quality...IF THAT.


And Carol was nice enough to type the answer to you.....not realizing you're probably testing over offshore somewhere.  This is not allowed on this board - we do not supply answers to testers. 


not the spelling police here - just annoyed that they come in here and use us for the answers.........and this one appears to be an offshore MT just by what all she/he misspelled.......some of the most basic words.

Subject: OFFSHORE POSTERS: Everyone read SM

Please be aware that "rhodilla" and "ghie" are offshore posters.  I have banned their addresses (IP and e-mail).  Always watch for "clues" and "signs" -- multiple posts at a single time, etc.  Report suspicious posts.


I will try to keep watching for suspicious posts.

Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm
Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm

will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.
