I have never typed 40 mg as 40mg. The thing about the BOS, sometimes companies follow it and just when you think you are following it, they say "oh no" we don't do it that way..??????

Nitpicky
Some places actually go by the AAMT Book of Style. AAMT BOS 2nd says that 40mg is wrong and the correct way to type this is 40 mg. I would suggest you buy the $89 AAMT BOS 2nd edition and bone up. When you work for a company that does not care about quality, you get sloppy. I recently changed from a huge corporate company and am working for a quality company like yours and am going through the exact same thing. I like it though because I like my work to be correct.

Asking you to spell a word correctly after 10 years is being nitpicky? Shame on them..
