bad grammer

In Reply to: Those are hilarious! (nm) - Drives me bonkers

The one that absolutely makes me nuts, and I hear it all the time from all types of professional persons, is when a person is a "that". "The grieving widow had a son that stayed overnight with the next door neighbor". I mean, when did a person get to be a "that" instead of a "who". Here's the other one: "He went missing". I mean, is that proper? I had never heard it in my life, and now all of a sudden it seems I hear it all the time. Where did he go? He went to MissingTown?

Medical grammer website

Does anyone know of a grammer website for medical words and uses.

Thanks

Did you notice you spelled grammar - grammer? LOL sm
Seriously though, it is your account and you have every right to demand better quality, and if she cannot provide that for you, then maybe you need to reconsider her as an IC. You absolutely have to be very careful when hiring those who just cannot take criticism the right way. Those are the worst because they are prideful MTs and they will never get it right because they don't think they have an issue! Trust me, I LIVE with one of those.

Get some back bone and start demanding better work or tell her you will replace her. See if she doesn't slow down then! Good luck. Put the whip on her - that should do the trick.

I wasn't correcting grammer - I never heard of this before. nm
