overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read

OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

Dict says WBC was 180,000, which was up from about 1-1/2 thousand, how would this be transcribed? Not to sound stupid, but just not sure!

14.6 thousand (from BOS "ho" here!)

Page 389, 2005 BOS under thousand says "Quantities dictated in the form 'four point two thousand' may be transcribed as 4.2 thousand or as 4200", so both are correct. 


My head is so gonna blow up from all this stuff.

the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
Subject: the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm

I do have some docs who dictate it as "6800" and others who dictate it as "6.8 thousand" and others simply as "6.8."
I know, from my education, that WBC on a CBC is in thousands. But i transcribe it however they dictate it.
I can understand how an MT who "always did it" one way could have trouble typing it the other way when she knows it's technically correct either way.
question about thousand

If a doctor dictates "WBC count of 10.9 thousand"  How would I type that all in numbers using 0's?  I am having a brain freeze this morning.  TIA
