and it seems that there have been lots of word helpers.  Maybe not the usual folks, but still really good help.

There was a thread about this on the
main board. Apparently MT schools aren't providing any training at all in very basic terminology. One wonders what they are teaching.

Look down under the *caudal vater syndrome - debbie*  at the post with the subject line *  LOL!!!!! - sm *  It is hilarious.  but you really have to be familiar with the whole thread.  and if you are not  -  it is worth the time spent reading down the thread until you get to the LOL!!!!!-sm one.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!

I thought you were the one who posted that it was NOT hyphenated in this case.  I see where you were the one who posted the 3 examples.  You weren't yelling at me, you were the one who agreed with me.  SORRY AGAIN!

from top to bottom.  I was simply giving some help to the OP.  Whether she capitalized or not is her business.  I was just trying to point out in a quick instant that the "g" was silent in that word, hence her hearing "cushoined".  I am a very friendly and helpful person.  I was simply pointing that out to the poster above with the post beginning "you'd be wrong"!  So, I guess now I reek of sarcasm.  Again, I have broad shoulders...  no problem.  Glad you took the time to post.

coutes within a quote; it still makes sense. is so hard to tell though when you're not really hearing inflection in the voice.

Subject: I've had to do this........

Go to the beginning of the sentence at #1, right click, click on decrease indent and this will put you at the left margin. You can then put (a) manually under the beginning of the sentence and space over 2, then starting typing. Hit enter and put in (b). I know when you hit "b" it will move over. Before moving on, go back to "a", right click, bullets and numbering, customize, go to "aligned at" and make it 0.5. This will align everything where you want it. When you start "c", it will be at the left margin but go ahead and finish a,b,c,d, however long. When finished, highlight this, right click, bullets and numbering, find the box starting with "c" and click it. It will line everything up. From then on,when you type #2, it will line itself up. I hope this isn't too confusing.

A word that means "narrowing" but sounds like "graced" or "gracing"....that's a definite possibility.

Okay, I've had it....
Subject: Okay, I've had it....

I'm typing an orthopedic surgeon at the moment..he and his wife (who is also a surgeon) have developed the same MISERABLE, slurring speech pattern (I thought couples began to LOOK alike, not SOUND alike).  If someone could help before I am bald from tearing my hair out, I would be extremely greatful.  He is dictating a patient who developed an infection from a wound and was taken to the OR twice for "I&D and integator??? plus VAC placement."  It is probably something easy, but I am experienced only in radiology.  I do very well if I can hear what is being said.  A couple of reports ago, his wife dictated a patient who had patysmal blanding...(platysmal banding) and craptional consrapsure (capsular contracture).   Sorry bout this long-winded, whining plea, but thank you for letting me vent.   Heavy sigh...I feel better now. 


I've Always . . .
Subject: I've Always . . .

Corrected grammar--had a time of it explaining to one clinician why it's "between her and her father" and not "between she . . ."--and only VERY rarely have been asked not to do it.

I think they usually know once the correction is made that what they dictated was incorrect.

Although I'm sure there have been raised eyebrows over my typing the correct "he has DRUNK (not "drank") alcohol since age 16" because to them it sounds (but isn't) wrong.

Past participle, doctor, look it up.

Have fun out there,

We all know it's Stedman's but you just couldn't resist, could you? Do you think people might be in a hurry sometimes to post a quick reply or too rushed to proofread their posts? Yes, it's a word help board and should contain correct spelling, but in this case was it really necessary?
