and maybe some proper spelling

Right, when in Rome...get it? When in America...It's CHECK. Period.

Trish, check your spelling, both inside and out....lol.

Is the option to check spelling as you type checked? sm
What version of Word are you using? In 2003 and earlier this option is on the Spelling & Grammar tab. It's in the Proofing section of Word options in 2007. IT doesn't change any of Word's options.
Proper education? LOL
This is not a regulated or licensed industry. There is no "proper education".
MT schools give a beginner level of knowledge and maybe a little touch on doing dictation but there's no "proper education" to be had here.
I've done this 25 years. I've never had "proper education". I was trained on the job. I was an EMT when I started my first MT job.
And please, stop comparing MTs and nurses like attorneys and paralegals. Those ARE regulated industries. Certification is necessary and a degree necessary.
Get over yourself. ROFL
Proper way to write

There was a post with the proper

I would spell it out; don't know what is proper

YOU BE HAPPY THERE - Perhaps you be stupid?
How about constructing some proper sentences?

med-surg floor. It's not a proper name. NM

people who are attracted to something that is not proper.
Instincts are not always in one's best interest and to follow those interests doesn't make it right.
Who decides proper? If these two cowboys sm
lived alone with each other and didn't get married and pretend they weren't gay they still wouldn't be proper, right? They couldn't win for losing your book,right? It's views like your that push gay kids to committ suicide rather than live in YOUR world and deny how they were born. And they are BORN that way and here's how I know-who would CHOOSE such a behavior knowing how half of society would shun them??? Who would CHOOSE to be ridiculed and made fun of? Who would CHOOSE to be judged the rest of their lives not on who they are but who they live with???? I know a lot of women married to creeps who I don't judge because of their husbands, judgement by association is cowardly. Why don't you get to know PEOPLE and judge them accordingly based on WHO they are not WHAT they are??
Proper way to submit resignation?
How much information does one have to include in a resignation? Just the date effective? Do you need to give the reasons in the resignation? TIA!
proper diagnosis!!! for my exhusband too...LOL...sm
but it isn't really funny and I'm not really laughing.....it was him or my sanity, as I posted below, and my sanity won out but you have put the proper diagnosis on it because I've been saying for 20 years, he was/is a passive aggressive.....always pointing the finger, placing blame and never looking inside himself as maybe it's him who is/was the problem......(also a triple virgo male *LOL* sun, moon, rising-ascendant).
Proper nouns get capitalized...sm
I know, I know, they all have their opinion; but as far as I know, the correct way is if they don't say the "Proper" name of the area then it is just a common noun, which does not get capitalized.
Ex:
St. Mary's Emergency Room
The emergency Room
West Central Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic
Referred to an ear, nose, and throat clinic.
The account specifics might say different.
Here's one for you:
When you are typing your resume, and you want to say you have experience in clinic notes, do we capitalize Clinic Notes? I'm seeing it both ways. I would say "no" but want to make sure.
TIA!
Either you know proper English or you don't. It's not something you turn on and off. nm

...your E-mails have to have proper English and punctuation.
Am I alone?
they don't move the post to proper board....sm
the moderators may remove a post/thread but they don't replace it on the proper board - that would be your own thing to do.
HTH (hope that helps!) 
I agree with capitalizing proper nouns only. sm
That is the proper way in the English language. Unfortunately, that may not be what BOS recommends. :(
I have a theory about grammar, proper English going the way of
the dinosaur. I am beginning to think that with all the ESLs who cannot speak English, that everyone else has totally forgotten how to conjugate verbs, have no idea what sentence syntax means, understand the relationships of nouns to verbs, etc. I am wondering how long it will take before no one makes much sense and it really bothers me. I see paragraphs where truly, it is difficult to tell exactly what is being said, what relates to what. I long for the days when I had an ESL who wanted me to correct her, even to the point of completely reworking her sentences to sound better.
If the dictators could speak proper English and enunciate clearly,
if the supervisors didn't bounce MTs off of QA in less than a week and then gripe at everyone about leaving blanks, if the account specs were clearly delineated, if the pay was worth a darn, if the QA feedback was constructive and consistent, then maybe the MTs would care about quality and loyalty. 
Sorry, but my account goes by proper English grammar rules
not that made-up garbage from the AAMT.
Poor sound quality, looking up proper names, sm
switching from one account to another, not enough work, repetitive stress injuries, accounts continually changing they way they want things done, uninvited guests, slow ISPs, inability to get broadband, accounts having server problems,lack of proper reference materials at hand (meaning MT word books and dictionaries), relying on Google 100%, visiting this and other boards, chocolate cravings, food cravings, extreme boredom, extreme fatigue, delirium.
If you have your own account and no longer want to do it, how long is proper notice?
I have a very small account that is way too much aggravation. They have abbreviated things so much and nickeled and dimed me to death. Plus the dictation is bad. I'm making almost no money. I am thinking of telling them they need to find someone else. How long a period of time (notice) should I give them before I'm done?
Proper or pretentious to use *AA* (assoc/arts) after one's name professionally? (nomsg)

way off topic wedding present question - is there proper etiquette on the amount a guest must (sm)
spend on the wedding present? I have known people who hardly know the bride and groom yet spend $75 to $100 on a present. Is this now the expected/correct amount to spend? I was inclined to spend $25. Am I being cheap?

had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible. The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.
I think America....
is getting tired of the political correctness gone amok. While I'm all for separation of church and state, as the original forefathers intended it to be, which is that the government shall not establish a religion and then force the citizens to BE that religion (as it was with the Church of England), I don't think they intended for us to be afraid to say Merry Christmas. As much as some may not like it, this country is overwhelmingly Judeochristian, and most Christian. I'm sick and tired of all the time, money, and energy spent on making sure a school calls the Christmas Holiday "Winter Break."
DTS America
Has anyone worked for DTS America?

Thanks for the info.

America
This is America. Last I checked we speak English here unless you are gifted enough to speak more than 1 language or you are a native of another country that does not speak English. If I went to France I would not expect them to know English, I would learn their language, French. This is America. We speak English as far as I know. If you are born here chances are you will learn English as your language unless your parents are immigrants then you might learn English and some other language. What language do they use in the schools? ENGLISH!!! I am not learning another language here in my own country. If I want to learn another language I will go to another country. Don't get me wrong I would not mind knowing another language but I get fustrated when people come here and think we should learn their language when in fact they need to learn English.
DTS America
I am thinking of possible employment with this company. Has anyone ever worked for them or know anything about this company called DTS America from Tennessee?
DTS AMERICA
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WORKING FOR DTS, BRENTWOOD BRANCH?
DTS America
Anybody out there getting a hard time at the Brentwood Branch by a certain manager? I have gone to management, but nobody listens. Seems this company doesn't care how many experienced MTs they lose. They seem to think we are "disposable". Don't question a thing, your're job/life will only be made miserable. I am leaving as soon as I find another company to work for. Great accounts, lousy company, lousy management. No communication with employees whatsoever.
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

Professionalism in America...
What happened to professionalism in America? Have I been at home in my pajamas too long? Everywhere I go, every business, etc. I have come across people who are just so unprofessional looking. Dropping my child off at school the other day, a delivery man got out of his truck looking sloppily dressed. Uniform shirt was dirty, untucked with belly hanging out. This is not seen only in men in delivery positions or blue collar workers. It is seen everywhere. Offices have gone to casual wear. What happened to the crisp clean uniforms and nice dressed women in offices? When I worked outside the house, even when we did have a "casual day" it still was somewhat professional looking (no athletic shoes). Don't you think this contributes to laziness on the job? Wouldn't you rather be served by someone clean looking and bright than not? Do supervisers of these positions accept this look?
Only in North America

By the way...I worked a 12 hour shift today. I really don't need the correction on my spelling. I realize I hit the 'n' instead of the 'm'. I'm done now...this is dumb.
The one, the only, the woman who has done SO MUCH FOR AMERICA!!!!!
HILL-OH-REE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
NO ONE IN AMERICA SHOULD BE PAID BELOW
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. No job is worth this wage.
When I was a new grad in 2005 I was offered 7 cents per line for every single company I was offered a position with and that was a good bit of companies, btw. That was employee status and that was IC position too. Even now with 1-2 years experience I get offers of 8.5-9 cents a line.
Now MTSOs are profiting off of slave labor. How can you sleep at night knowing that you are paying your MTs HALF of what they should be making? I cannot wait til their doctors make it impossible for them to profit too. Happy day.
All I can say is everyone has to start somewhere and just becuase you are a new grad from college doesnt mean you are paid half of what you should be paid.
PATHETIC.
I get making an MT prove themselves for a few weeks at a lower rate (until off of QA) and then up it to 6-7 cents. If they aren't worth it.. DROP THEM.
My MTSO was so honest and fair. She would NEVER EVER think of paying that crap. We need more people like her. Out for her employees and not herself.
You know, maybe it's just my PMS speaking today, but I plan on getting my own accounts and I will NEVER EVER treat my employees like crap and pay them like that.
For 2 weeks of full time work (which for us MTs just starting out is OVER 40 hours) you pay them (based on 12,000 lines a payperiod) 360 (.03) without taxes taken out?? When they should be making $720 (.06) on the low end of the totem pole?
Wow. You guys are makin out!! 
"fleecing of America"
Does anyone still do that "fleecing of America" segment (or whatever it was called)? We are being fleeced!!!!! But again, the other side which promotes offshoring will present a stronger side than us. All we would get is emotional support from a minority of viewers, which doesn't last long. We will be told, as I have, "No one is making you do this job. If you don't like it, do something else." The public has to realize how important this job is to THEIR well-being. Now, they can be told that offshoring is saving them money and they will like that.
That's where our professionalism comes into play but the only way I can see to prove the need for our services is to have all other alternatives fail and have that make a major impact somehow to make people aware, especially the physicians, that we need qualified AMERICAN MTs for America's health records. Odd thing is, greed gets one only so far. Then it tends to backfire -- taxes, breach of confidentiality, etc. Some of those "loopholes" may backfire someday.
