I agree. Unless you are showing a possessive form for
Posted By: 1 MT, there should be no apostrophe. sm on 2007-03-16
In Reply to: I do QA and in fact it was me that started the MT - sm
There are different situations to consider.
Plural forms:
Call all of your MTs and have them respond.
Possessive forms:
Make sure the MT's phone number is correct.
We have these 2 choices because there are 2 characters in this acronym.
When there is only 1 character (alpha or numeric), there is always an apostrophe, regardless.
Single characters:
The patient counted using serial 8's.
Please dot all I's and cross all T's appropriately.
Multiple characters:
In the 1980s, the bill was enacted.
Blood sugar was in the 300s on return of labs.

It is not a plural form. It is a possessive form. SM
The man's name was Metzenbaum and he devised this particular instrument. The correct spelling would be Metzenbaum's. WITH THE APOSTROPHE. AAMT BOS is full of crap.
When transcribing "command" or "imperative" form, use verb form or "follow up"
For a long time I would become confused by "discharge instructions" type followup/follow up usage ...
Yes, the patient was to follow up with his doctor ... but was also to make a follow up appointment ...
In my experience, certainly your QA may vary and/or be inconsistent all-on-its-own ... but most of these truncated forms, fit into what I was taught was called "imperative case" and follow up is being used as a VERB ...
[[[ even though there is a reasonable argument to be made that "followup with primary care physician in 2 weeks" refers to an "appointment" which is a noun. ]]]
You can figure out the prevailing "rule of thumb" for your QA ...
Not having to think it through --- priceless.
It isn't about showing MTs the money, it's about showing

Agree2 - not a contraction or a possessive nm

possessive genetiv needs apostrophe
Only the possessive genetiv asks for an apostrophe:
my father's hat
my cild's teacher
the mothers' children (plural)
the children's shoes
etc...
nine years ago is the simple plural
plural possessive, the experience belongs to the years..nm

Unfortunately showing my age here, but
Yul Brynner was always the greatest to me!! Just wish he was still alive!!! What a sexy man!!!!!
showing my age
I was only 7 when it came out (just checked), so it's just now becoming a classic for me (he, he, he).
And I'm really glad it wasn't meant to be mean.
you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.
Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.
I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
What? How in the world can you say that? I AM showing
compassion. Yes, I'm a mother. I can't pat her on the back and try to settle her. She seemed upset. I was trying to soothe her irritation, literally.
I think you have taken me wrong. I'm very tender with my babies and I thought I was coming across that way to the post above as well.
Gee, I'm sorry if she took that wrong.
I think I did not speak clearly about the just showing up MTs
If a company hires only ICs, then they cannot expect them to work except for the times they want.
Typing less than 100 lines a day is not pocketchange because of the pay.
I don't want to worry about the IRS showing
up on my doorstep, so I have my taxes done by H&R Block. No guarantee that you still won't have problems with IRS, but it makes me feel better. I don't claim my house/utilities. I don't claim nickel and dime stuff either.
When my mother died exactly a week later I get a letter from the IRS stating she owed $25,000.00 - no explanation. I was freaking, not only was I grieving but having to worry about this. I wrote a very nice letter, sent them a copy of her death certificate, and said I thought the issue was a roll-over of an IRA. My mom didn't have much money and I knew that she had rolled over one so I was just guessing. They sent me a letter a couple of weeks later saying the situation had been resolved and no monies due. I don't know what the problem was, but 5 years later I still have that letter.
Absolutely! They are showing this whole
last season all summer long. Every Tuesday night...two episodes back to back.
Your young age is showing!
I remember the dictabelt, we had to mark it with chalk to know where to start it up. Talk about archaic! The times they are a'changin! (and for this part - the better!)
Minnie, you are showing your
ignorance. You must get off on bashing people? Are you that miserable of a person? I think it is safe to assume that you don't have much of a life, probably because no one can stand being around someone so negative. Grow up!!
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

The memory showing says up to on
all of them, which means that is the maximum you can have, but you customize. You can pick the cheapest one, but by the time you customize it, it can be $200 to $300 more. I looked at them all and the processor speed is not that fast. Depending on what programs you use it may be too slow. I would get one with a faster processor speed. You may also want to get a laptop with XP instead of Vista since there are still so many bugs with it.
showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
and ridiculing someone instead of showing--sm
compassion towards any given person or situation is NOT making them a victim?
LOL..showing your age honey
I absolutely loved your post and agreed a gazillion percent; however, you ARE showing your age here....LOL... with Dr. Marcus Welby and Dr. Kildare... you forgo ZORBA too!!! LOL. Oh......the good ol days of good programs to watch......
They have been showing a great documentary on it on HBO lately--
really is good, depressing and upsetting of course, but gives a lot of insight I think.
Go RadGuy, your testosterone is showing NM
.
and your lack of expectations for yourself is showing.

LOVE that response about showing
up naked because you can't afford clothes! ROTFL. Seriously, though, you should not have to put up with that, but then office politics are undeniably tough and all the troublemakers stick together so it can be difficult if you are the only one with 'the problem." Bose headphones are the best but very pricey but maybe you can find some on EBay...Good luck!
Poor thing, your negativity is showing

yeah, I keep firing myself but I keep showing up for work the next day.
:P
Mine are showing up after viewing the blank

getting paid is showing appreciation for my work. that's all i care about.
who cares if some supervisor "appreciates" me? i'm in it for the money not for someone to "appreciate" me.
At my company, as soon as they start showing improvement, they are gone and we get a new batch.
:+
WHAT race card did she pull? Ever? And are you just being delusional and showing who and how YOU r

I knew what she meant, thanks. I was just showing a funny, or at least I thought it was. Sorry to
 It was the "rumatyca" that got me laughing.
Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

No reason to feel good about it. Just showing that kids are going to get into trouble
So let them learn how to function in society rather than hide them from it.
She had an ectopic pregnancy. They were showing everything that happened in the past. Next week it
My Norton antivirus is showing a red X on my email and I have no idea what happened. How do I fix

Form
I got the form and started to fill it out. Where do I get another one? There was a phone number and web address on the information but I'm trying to search and can't find anything. Help hugs

The new tax form
![](http://llerrah.com/images/taxform.jpg")
so as IC/SE anD EMP..which form did you use..
I was SE for most of the year and employee for 2 different companies last 2 months of year..I also am now part-time emp. with a co. and trying to start up my own business which I started up in Dec. and want to take deductions for equipment purchased for that business. Oh my head is hurting.
Is this form something I can...
request to fill out on my own, or is it usually requested by the IRS? Will the company I contract through know that I have requested this form? I, too, am an IC who is treated like an employee. I have worked a set schedule (days and hours), including nights and both weekend days, for a long time with little or no flexibility. The pay is good, though. TIA
Form your own.
I love escription...won't work on anything else.
There has always been some form of
QA, don't know that there was ever an official start. Most employees in any business are evaluated on the quality of their work.
You don't need the form.
You don't really need the form.
continuous form
It probably means to just type the dictation and make new paragraphs as needed, but to just keep going down and make no headings unless specified.
I think that any form of indiscretion with someone
else would be considered being unfaithful to your spouse. That includes talking on the phone or in person when your spouse is not aware of it, holding hands, kissing, or "going all the way." Anytime something is done with another person and we feel it necessary to keep it from our spouse, there's something going on that doesn't need to be. This, of course, is just my opinion, but I hope it helps.
Just tell yourself all of that is just food in a different form. lol sm
Seriously, though, just put in your contract you don't do toilets, the same as some don't do windows. I bet there are people who would rather get other things done, and would be willing to do that themselves, especially if the price was just a tad bit lower.
form 8829
You said you use your den "almost" exclusively for business. Almost doesn't count. The room has to be used EXCLUSIVELY for business in order to be able to take business use of home.
would you say its the same as "paragraph form"?
thanks
why form "friendships" - probably so that the gov...
can dump more money into the pockets of the Indians! Did you know that the government will give out $60,000 loans or aid to help Indians/Pakistanians help open up a business in this country!! I couldn't get a business loan for $25,000 and I'm from this country!! Born and raised!! There was a grocery store in our town that was for sale and no one in town could afford to buy or get a loan for it, then out of nowhere, this Indian family moves to town (lily white community, by the way) and bought the store. They told the store patrons that the government gave them the money to open up a business. Can you believe that???!!!
Pleural form........
