Ignore the grammar and spelling police
on this board and in private email, and they will go away.
Please do not grammar police here...
Many MTs come to this site to relax and may not have the time or desire to proofread their messages.

GRAMMAR POLICE - sm
Having nothing meaningful to contribute, these immature holier-than-thou self-proclaimied experts need to vent their insecurities by finding fault with something as insignificant as spelling/grammar. Reminds me a lot of a large percentage of QAs -- need to nitpick on something trivial, real or imagined.
I would just tell them to kiss my butt, unless they are also paying my salary - otherwise they should MTOB.

BTW, grammar police are not allowed.
Go back to your corner now.
I don't like spelling police either, but...
she did not use they're correctly: P.S. They don't even advertise anymore on here because of they're reputation.
Should be 'their' reputation...
Spelling police is not necessary here.

are you the spelling police?
so sorry I thought the spelling police were banned from here, guess I was wrong. But I am glad to know you don't ever add an extra letter in a word. Oh I wish I could be perfect.
oops half of them (my own grammar police)

Advise is in SpellCheck. So maybe you should have suggested Proofing Ms Grammar Police.
nm
To the SpellCheck Queen and Grammar Police...Sorry for the errors. I sent it before proofing.
 I know it's a MT no-no.
The moderators have already requested that you stop with the grammar police stuff.
This is not the forum for you to try to be queen of QA. I am not insecure about my grammar skills, but I certainly am not going to get all in a tizzy if I make a mistake while posting on a message board, nor will I get all bent out of shape if I see an error in someone else's post. This forum is here to network with each other about various companies, hence the name COMPANY board and not GRAMMAR board.
And I see, too, that your grammar is as top notch as your spelling!
HAHAHAHAHA
Applying the right grammar and spelling
should not be an extra effort. But this only if one is good at it.
What logic is this: Today I am tired, so my grammar and spelling are bad.
I can understand: Today I am tired, so I make a lot of typos.
But some will never understand the difference.
Do you only use correct grammar and spelling
when you are paid for it?
Spelling Police is not needed on the MTStars forum.
t
hope your spelling and grammar on work are better than this.

YOU call us ANIMALS because we pay attention to correct grammar and spelling?
There is no strong word enough to say what you are.
With such an attitude and work moral you should get out of the MT profession.
Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
It's grow up, not grow-up. Whose grammar/spelling
are you trying to correct? 
I am not the MT police, but sometimes I wish
cute one!
the what police? lol
... and the puncuation police are after you!! nm

POLICE REPORT
Start requesting police reports of this incident...you might need it down the road.
Are you the board police?
x
Police state
Yes, but I'd be much more worried that your government now has all of under just about 24 hour surveillance. THAT's a police state...
That would be grandma police.

What are you, the question police?
People should be able to ask a question at the present time and get answers and not have other people running around the board saying, Google it, or Search the board.
You know, that is really not helpful and quite rude. Everyone already knows that, so if you can't answer the question, why don't you keep your advice (that everyone already knows) to yourself? Okay?
So tired of this attitude.
Well thank you, company board police!
before posting anything to this forum in the future.
Why do people think they have to be the QA police here. I am so tired of
people voicing their opinions, only to have it pointed out they didn't spell something correctly, or used the wrong word, or made a typo. We put up with this day in and day out in our jobs, trying to make sure everything is correct. Do we really have to do it here too? Frankly, I'm sick of it.
Sorry the police "busted" you, but thank you for the info. (sm)
Why do people feel compelled to correct our grammer when we are just relaxing and sharing info here? We are not really trying to put out a perfect polished product.
How rude, excuse me, Ain't that rude?
Thank you again for answering so many of my questions.
I have called the police department already..sm
I am not playing. They faxed me the paperwork and I am giving her until Friday for a cashier's check OR money order is in my hands, she is in trouble! LIES LIES LIES that is all she has done.
not trying to cheer her, just everyone.Joke police,tsk

Check it out. A company cannot be a "who." Only a person can be a "who."
Grammar
All I can say is  .
I have been transcribing now for 3 years and have never heard a thing about my grammar. I have gotten reports back the past couple of days this week stating: There should be a comma here.. there should be a semicolon there.. you shouldn't have put a period, but a semicolon.. or when I put something as far as a comma where I was told to.. I would get it back stating that it was unnecessary, HUH? Not only that, but I would have a passage from a grammar website pasted on the report that was sent back in e-mail. LOL.
I give credit where credit is due, but seriously...
Now instead of being paranoid about any kind of medical errors-- I am worried about if a comma is in the right place. Nice, huh? Everything that I was corrected on was trivial.
So, while I was sitting there feeling kicked in the gut waiting for my next grammar correction, I found myself looking through samples and reports transcribed by other people and found that the commas that I had on my reports were on other peoples transcriptions, too!
No medical errors, miskakes, misplaced words, missing words, format issues, and I get grilled about a comma.
 I felt like I was back in highschool. 
Seriously, is this normal?? I am thinking about leaving this place. I have never felt so insulted. A comma should be the last thing on their mind..especially when seeing the horrendous mistakes that were sent to clients by other transcriptionists in the database. 
Just needed to vent. Am I wrong to be so irritated about this?
Grammar
 So do you practice what you preach? I noticed in your heading you typed you not your. Or did you type it that way on purpose?
You know some come to this board upset or in a hurry. I know I have. There are times, I am sure, some come to this board dead tired from working all day or putting up with really bad dictators.
Bottom line is that we are all human and humans are not perfect 24/7 365 days out of the year. This is just a place we can let our hair down so to speak. If you don't like it perhaps you can find a board out in cyber space somewhere where all is perfect.
grammar
I would stick to my guns. I don't know how old you are, but I was taught the same things in school and I refuse to change my habits now. They have done that to me as well. It makes absolutely no sense to me either for QA to make corrections like that where they aren't needed. I think that sometimes the QA people just get off on thinking they are better transcriptions than we are. Unless it was some rule by the hospital (which would be insane), I would just keep doing what you do. I DO ! I have never, ever been reprimanded by any of my own clients or any hospital client in this lifetime. Do what you do best, girlfriend !
With grammar like yours
With grammar like yours, I wonder how YOU got and keep YOUR job!
placed=place (typo police abound). nm
