absolutely right! I don't know what a lot of it means, but I do know when I need to verify spelling and/or meaning while I am working.

Slow me down? Definitely, but I don't think many people know the whole medical language when they just get started unless they train for a VERY lengthy time.

For those who know it all ... more power to ya!
