Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm

Hard to change my ways anyway at this age.....*LOL* but we ARE the minority on this, as I have many people in my life in the business forever too.  I took a formal MT class 26 years ago at a major teaching hospital (with branches all over this country) and this very issue came up, and they (the instructors) insisted that it is disk for eyes and disc for the spine.  But, like most reasonable posters have already said, they are both acceptable in use.  Again, it's always client preference. 

• disc vs disk - poll please - compgeek
  • I use disc myself for all accounts I transcribe for...nm - CM
  • Reference cited - see inside
    • Exactly. Disk is preferred but disc is also correct. So RELAX, people! - MT in Novi

            • I don't see a chip on her/his shoulder, I am thinking the same thing. Who cares? (msg) - hmmm....
  • this is a perfect example of why finding your own definitive - answers are better than asking opinions
    • Ha ha... With "good research", you will find that they are both commonly used. (sm) - MT in Novi
      • just because it doesn't matter to YOU - doesnot make you right, Ms. Ha Ha
        • Settle down, Beavis... Before you break something. (sm) - MT in Novi
        • anyone, eh?........we know disk/disc....sm - and YOUR posts epitomize not helping
      • I work for two people.... - Jen
    • And that's YOUR opinion.. - hmmm
    • In other words, you don't know yourself (just another opinion) :) - nm
      • I know which ones to use, but I am appalled at the - types of questions and more at the type of answers
        • Opinions are what the board is here for.. - oh now
        • know not now - nm

Disc, disk, or frisbee... I will do what they prefer as long as they show me the money!:)

Demographics have TONS to do with that - I remember in 1980 - where I live had TONS of elderly (now deceased) so the first years of me doing MT work, the very elderly are usually in hospitals with these kinds of problems.  But now where I live, median age is 38!!!

Hence, it doesn't fit the bill any longer, and demographics have changed so drastically in the USA the past 30 years and especially the last 10 years that these statements of hers aren't cutting it.

Oh well, with the cute icon popping bubble gum of hers and it is a very cute emoticom, a grown woman in her 40s-50s-60s I do not think would usually choose an emoticom like that one - perhaps she is very, very young, and we cannot fault her for being a baby.  She'll grow up one day and realize it all on her own, IF she opens up her eyes. 

It's a WEED killer....she was smoking mary-j-wana...get it?  LMFAO!
