"In lieu of"

Ever notice a lot of docs don't know what this phrase means? It's so obvious they mean "in view of" but when they say "in lieu of" it means exactly the opposite of what they are trying to say. (FYI: It means "instead of"). Okay, so I'm on a verbatim account. This is causing me a dilemma.

In lieu of any Christmas bonuses in the future..
I would just like the opportunity to meet some of these guys in person...thank them for the work that keeps my bills paid...smile...and then smack the ever lovin' peediddle outta them for some of their, shall we say, "lackluster" dictating habits. Yeah...I think that would be a glorious bonus 
VoIP in lieu of landline phones?
I read a little article in one of those free local trade publications which discussed ways of saving money on everyday household costs. VoIP was listed as a way to save a ton of money by using your Net connection for your phone service.
The article didn't explain how it all works. Is anyone doing this? Do you hook up your phone to your cable connection or are you using some speaker system/software on your PC to make calls? I just don't get it. All I know is that they said you can call anywhere in the world and it doesn't matter, it's a fixed inexpensive monthly cost. I also don't know if you trade your landline telephone number for something through thte VoIP service.
So, I'm intrigued but totally in the dark about this concept. TIA!
I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm

So, you have to be in the "in crowd"
to get an invitation??? It seems to me that it would be polite to not talk about The Other Board if it is private. Very bad manners.
PS "in the business"
Don't write when you're flaming upset, that should be "in" not "on".
"In the old days"....
I always worked in private physician/group offices and have always had access to the chart - and to the physicians. I see your point in hospitals. 
you actually use the word "grossly "in
as in "grossly normal" and people think youre crazy
Ever had a dog that "chases" cars "in the car?"
We just adopted a dog last month from the SPCA. She's a great dog, very young but past puppyhood, spayed, housebroken, sits, stays, everything you couuld ask for when getting a "used dog." BUT.... We've discovered that her hobby in the car is sitting by the window until a car passes and then "chasing it." She will take breaks and lay down and sleep for a while, but then gets back to her hobby. When we leave her in the car, she just sleeps, so she's basically a pretty good passenger other than the chasing. Anybody ever heard of this before?
that should be "in your career". Geez!

"In the year of our Lord..."
Yeah, had a doc who dictated like THAT...'In this, the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Eight,' and demanded it be typed out like that. He had some other really bizarre, idiosyncratic stuff too, such as references to previous presidents (which I could remember the context in which he used those references).
I used to despise typing his reports, but I really felt bad for the poor referring physicians trying to read through all his eccentric extraneous babbling to get to what was wrong with the patient.
Some of these docs are just...WEIRD.

There arent as many "in house" places as there used to be.

The disclaimer "in my experience" is important
In a lot of the original discussions there were not disclaimers, there were generalizations. Big difference. I still think there is a flaw in the argument which begins "well I know some, so", but it's an improvement.
It's just that in discussing these issues, there's a line that crosses over into talking about a people negatively versus talking about the issues. That's what I've tried to point out.
I agree. Now it seems the "in" thing is teeth cleaning sm
I'm fortunate in that I live in a small town and my vet is very good and very reasonable. Doesn't try to persuade you to have anything extra done but will do things if you want them done.
makes sense, but I don't know if I could stand the "in-between" stage (nm)

I do not get when "in a rush" became a good reason to not find your own answers..
better up my meds I guess.
Does China now own a large portion of U.S. Treasury bonds? You sound "in the know."
