English may not be the official language on the federal level, but it is the NATIONAL language. sm
From Wikipedia:
Although the United States has no official language at the federal level, English is the national language.
In 2003, about 215 million, or 82 percent of the population aged five years and older, spoke only English at home. Spanish, spoken by over 10 percent of the population at home, is the second most common language and the most widely taught foreign language.[139][140] Immigrants seeking naturalization must know English. Some Americans advocate making English the country's official language, as it is in at least twenty-eight states.[141] Both Hawaiian and English are official languages in Hawaii by state law.[142] Several insular territories also grant official recognition to their native languages, along with English: Samoan and Chamorro are recognized by Samoa and Guam, respectively; Carolinian and Chamorro are recognized by the Northern Mariana Islands; Spanish is an official language of Puerto Rico. While neither has an official language, New Mexico has laws providing for the use of both English and Spanish, as Louisiana does for English and French.[143]
P.S. Miami may be one of the largest cities, but it is still just one city located in one small state. There are 49 other states. Miami is just a small speck when you compare it to the rest of the United States.
English Language
Amen to that!!!
I live in South Florida and you may as well call it a foreign country. I asked a clerk at local Walmart for Phiso-dem...she had me write it on her notepad she carries around, because she doesn't speak English!!!!
English as a Second Language
nm
Should have said English as a FIRST language. LOL

So, English is a second language..LOL!
How can someone get a job doing this kind of work without knowing English? Just amazes me! 
English is not the national language sm
America is a melting pot and English is not and should not be the national language. I'm Native American and while I'm not happy about the influx of immigrants - which I'm sure your ancestors were - America is a melting pot and at one time English was the 'second language' around here and others had to adapt.
Deal with it. America is a safe haven and refuge for other countries. Why was it okay for your ancestors to come here but it's not okay for others to come here?
At least most of them speak English as a first language, eh.
Except the Francophones/Quebecois. Plus, they're not undercutting us on wages.
Pas DE probleme!
Are there many American MTs whose first language isn't English? nm

Assault on the English Language
I transcribe for a doctor who I think may be Russian, but anyway, he has lived in this country (USA) for many years and has not taken the time to learn to speak succinctly. As a matter of fact, he seems to be dyslexic on top of the heavy accent and often phrases words backwards, does not know how to speak concisely, and I am thinking whoever has the misfortune of reading his HNP's is going to think he is a real Dip (even after editing). Even our editors have a real challenge getting through his work. I wish I could shake the snot out of him and require that every ESL physician practicing in America be required to speak the English language fluently.
ESL just means English as second language.

I know what you mean - I cannot believe AAMT can change the English language-
but they dooooooo!!! It's so frustrating. I absolutely refuse to type one space after a period or question mark. I was taught two spaces from TYPING CLASS and that is the way it will be.
Personally, I think it is so the MTSOs that pay for lines and spaces will not have to pay for extra spaces. But that's just my opinion.
I agree we should have a command of the English language...sm
I do. This is from the American Heritage Book of English usage in regard to collective nouns. You see, I also have a degree in English and also taught. I do know the rules for collective nouns.
"Some nouns refer to a group but are singular in form. These nouns are called collective nouns. In American usage, a collective noun takes a singular verb when it refers to the collection considered as a whole."
Last time I checked, even MTs use the English language and we should have a command
of that language and that includes all the rules and regs taught from gradeschool on up. Now, it's totally up to you if you choose to be an AHDI robot. I acknowledge that a lot of MTSOs use the BOS as their guideline and if you work for those MTSOs, then you are obligated to follow "their" rules if you want your paycheck, but that does not mean that the rule book is correct. Quite simply, it is not. A group of retired MTs got together, had a meeting, and decided to make up a set of rules. Then they had a really fantastic marketing team that set out to market those rules as the end-all, be-all of medical transcription. They definitely found a willing audience for the crap they were peddling and they capitalized on it. I guess that's the American dream -- making a bundle of money of a bunch of suckers willing to pay, no questions asked.
I, however, choose to buck the system. I'm a noncomformist, I guess. I earned my bachelor's in English before I decided to become an MT. I believe it's important to be able to express oneself articulately and intelligently using the written word. I dislike what texting, email, and chat rooms have done to the English language (witness above post "wannbe MT ur opinions..."!!!!!).
Oh well, that's just me. I work for a hospital that could care less about the AHDI and its BOS. In my spare time, I wage my anti-BOS and anti-AHDI campaign in the hopes that MTs will wise up and MTSOs will too.

"stating that people have a poor grasp of the English language anymore. "
i hate that expression. makes no sense to me.
This is in regards to the post below about AAMT list on q.i.d.....plesae read
First of all, I haven't been with the AAMT for quite some time as a member. A friend of mine and I thought that for the price of joining was a joke. But I did not know they supported offshoring, is this really true?? One of the better books I have seen was The Do's and Don't's of Medical Transcription. I will say this.....I have gotten TONS AND TONS AND TONS more information, help, support, education, networking, employment, etc than I would ever even dream of getting from the AAMT....and this board is FREE!!!! Can everyone and anyone who has any insight on this please respond? Would like any feedback I can get. Thanks.
? How does MT work translate into *Paris Hilton*?
And who really gives a U-know-What about her, anyway?
I get so tired of this fatalistic, "nothing-can-be-done-about-it" attitude of many in the MT profession. No wonder we're continually getting stomped-on.........

Doesn't every word you said just translate into you're worried about bidding? Don't underst
phrasing in that regard. I don't look at worrying about bidding as a bad thing, either. Its the only way to buy on E-Bay - cautiously. One should always worry about bidding, as you have no clue who you're buying from! Most sellers will always respond angrily to a negative - only ones who don't answer at all are the guilty ones! But if you're unjustly accused of this or that, and then the buyer has the audacity to leave a contrived negative, that's when the seller responds and feathers fly! Negative reading is a great experience - you can really learn a lot about all parties, right? I don't deal with the ones who leave cursing, I'm gonna kill you negatives! Though, sadly most of them have been deleted by now, so we don't get to see the "true colors"...Censorship sometimes hurts...
of course they speak english, with an accent but they speak British-English quite well.
And I can't speak Indian so I guess they have an edge don't they?
Dirty old men. (SM)
I would avoid him. He won't change. He is looking at you like you are porn. Probably has few other women to gawk at. I'd take your mother out for lunch. It is very uncomfortable being around a man who is like him. I know. Have your mother visit you. She knows what he is doing.
Dirty Old Man
TELL THE SON OF A BITCH OFF NOW!!!! It will only hurt your relationship with your Mom, if she finds out and you haven't told her. Also, you need to tell your Mom. It sounds to me like they would be better off split off anyway.
Remember, you are the one feeling violated. Tell him OFF NOW!!
there is no reason for his behavior other than sexual. do it now, before you are really uncomfortable.
.....served up in a dirty ashtray....
Oh, and you make it sound so dirty!

You're the one with a dirty mind!
How would YOU go about eating an orange with no teef?! 
For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice. It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
If you have the time to get down and dirty with some low-life bad debt,
As for me, I live and learn. Ever hear the phrase cut your losses. The more time you spend chasing down a bad debt the more loss you incur.

Truly sad when couples air their dirty laundry in public
Please, think of the children! 
I would feel sorry for Sh*ri except she is such an obvious whackjob who truly deserves whatever is coming her way. Baby, you know the old saying: What goes around, comes around. Obviously it's coming around back to you in spades!
Yeah, Anon, the dirty dogs!!! nm

I use the dirty sock I left under the desk yesterday.

why do people want to turn nice things dirty?
I am so sick of people like this that just seem to ruin everything. This is how it all starts!!!! I love that this is a place I could be with my fellow MTs since I work at home. This is like my office!!! I love that our mod is looking out for us. THANKS!!!!
I think you over-reacted. You made something dirty out of a child's innocent crush.

a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
Most are not even MTs anymore, bunch of redneck southerners mostly. Lost of dirty talk.

Yeah, he rocks alright..... the cradle! He is the epitomy of a dirty old man. Blech!

Totally agree. Her kids are brats and spoiled with dirty money. I know she works

Exactly! Because you got familiar with VR....
It is difficult to switch from stRaight to editing, Back an forth, back and forth, this is so TRUE!
And all the various accounts with the different clients' specifics.
Nothing to do with your first language, of course. nm
s
language
Language skills are definitely at the top - I agree. So many outsiders think all we do is type and memorize a few terms. Makes me crazy sometimes to think we are being looked down upon for, quote - just typing, how hard can that be?
P.S. I hate it that we cannot put quotations in our posts!!
OP does not say who had the language
barrier, the doctor or the patient. Just because she is a white American female does not mean she speaks English.
Not familiar with a dropdown box . . .
Are you referring to F9 to get line count?
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.
Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?
Hmm...sounds familiar sm
Is this company out of Texas, perhaps.
Sounds familiar.
Feast or famine.
sounds familiar
I'm drowning in paper. I have piles everywhere, including my bedroom floor and dresser. I used to be very organized and couldn't stand clutter, I don't know what happened. I live with three other "messies", husband and two of three children. I think I just gave up. I usually can find things, but it bugs me a lot. Can't seem to get myself to clean it up. This has a psychological basis I'm sure. I'm not lazy, otherwise I keep a really neat, clean house. Stressed out maybe the reason, just don't know where to start first when I do have some time to myself. It's always something.
sounds so familiar!!
I guess most office atmospheres are like that...it sounds so similar to what I had worked with until I went home...and boy am I glad I did!!! I am a social person, but absolutely do not miss the office crud!!! Now I have been doing home repairs and "fixing" up my new "office" as well as getting out a couple of nights a week. Also spending more time focusing on my needs, i.e. pampering myself more!
We are attracted to what is familiar to us
Womanizers, alcoholics, workaholics, rage-aholics...if our dad was one, there seems to be a good chance we find ourselves married to a replica of him. At 48, I decided just to be alone as every man I found myself with was a psycholoanalysts' worst nightmare (these men rarely seek help and rarely change in my observation).
