lay versus lie
Subject: lay versus lie
Use "lied down" for self, but "layed down" when putting something down. "Lied" takes no object in the sentence, but "layed" takes an object, like "layed a book down". Got this from an English grammar discussion group.

4 versus four?
Subject: 4 versus four?
x
cc versus mL
Subject: cc versus mL
Have worked on 3 accounts that want it changed. Only one account wanted it to be typed cc as dictated. Think it is per account specific requirements. Most want mL.
was versus were
Subject: was versus were
I believe "was" is correct in this case, as it also would be for medication dosages, i.e., 10 mg was given.
was versus were
Subject: was versus were
Can someone please clarify the correct word - Approximately 10 cc of fluid were/was aspirated. Thanks!
was versus were
Subject: was versus were
Thanks!
un versus non
Subject: un versus non
As QA staff, I would not correct that. It's okay either way...unlikely the client would notice/care about something so minute as that. QA sometimes gets narrowed thinking, so much detail work. Have to see/QA outside the box. 
2x versus x2?
Subject: 2x versus x2?
Not sure of the BOS stance on this, but QA has told me that x2 is acceptable but 2x is not. I would think they would basically be the same, but had my hand slapped for typing 2x.
use of MD versus Dr.
Subject: use of MD versus Dr.
How would you correctly type this sentence?
Dr. John Smith / John Smith, MD performed an appendectomy following the first procedure.
EMG versus ENG
Subject: EMG versus ENG
Pt with leg paresthesias. Doctor is ordering either EMG or ENG and s/l CS. Which would it be, and what would the CS stand for? TIA
CT versus CAT
I remember seeing something in the BOS regarding a preference to use CT versus CAT even if CAT is dictated. Does any one know which BOS and on what page or where this information is coming from? Thank you.
IM versus I.M. versus i.m.
Subject: IM versus I.M. versus i.m.
I've always used IM but Stedmans has it as I.M. or i.m.
What's the right way?
g versus gm
Subject: g versus gm
g versus gm are both correct, but agree with other post that accounts may prevail. I type for an account who wants it as simply g
whom versus who
Subject: whom versus who
Recast the sentence to determine the correct usage.
This is a patient whom I have been seeing. I have been seeing him (so you would use whom).
This is a patient who came to see me. He came to see me (so you would use who).
cc versus mL
Subject: cc versus mL
According to the AAMT Book of Style, cc is a dangerous abbreviation and should always be changed to mL. That being said, whichever abbreviation you choose to use should never be made plural by adding the letter "s" to it.

Picc versus PIC, sm
Subject: Picc versus PIC, sm
Actually they are two different things, according to my sources. The PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) is inserted to the vena cava, thus it is "central." The PIC (peripherally inserted catheter) is inserted locally, not to the vena cava. I actually had one of these, it was in my AC space. PICC is the term that is used unless they specify local. If anyone has any other info I would be interested to hear it. Thanks.
LowDye versus Low-Dye (sm)
Subject: LowDye versus Low-Dye (sm)
I have a fellow MT who has Low-Dye orthotics in her new version (2005) of the Stedman's Ortho book. I just downloaded the free trial of the CD version of the same book and found it as LowDye orthotics. It is also LowDye in my SmartType dictionary. Does anyone else have another source that can help us solve this puzzle? I can't find a definitive answer on Google.
CKMB versus CK-MB
I thought QASAR had been disabled for a couple of weeks. QA just added a marker, 0.25 points off because I put CKMB they put CK-MB. Anyone know which is correct, I find it both ways.

Subject: cc's versus ccs of fluid?
Need info on x3 versus x 3
Subject: Need info on x3 versus x 3
Hi,
Me again. Need to know which edition of the AAMT Book of Style specifically has information regarding the "x" symbol? Currently in a conflict about whether there is a space between "oriented x 3 versus oriented x3." I don't add the space, but I guess some people do.
cor versus core
Subject: cor versus core
Doctor dictates heading "core measures." Should that be cor or core? Under the heading she says "No MI, TIA, CHF, CAP." Thank you.
KCl versus Kay Ciel
Subject: KCl versus Kay Ciel
It has been my understanding that KCl is used for intravenous dosing and Kay Ciel for oral. Please verify this or let me know if I am wrong.
g versus gram
Subject: g versus gram
Agree with Elderberry. G for gram is correct, although I have run across it in account specifics wanting it spelled out or not spelled out.
