I would do 60%. I have several doctors that will say 60 (as in ) 6-0. Clarifying the numbers so you don't put 16. They do 50, 5-0 so you don't put 15 because they sound close. It just sounds like sixty-six-zero. Put what you feel is right but I would be from experienc it is 60%

I'd recast the sentence to "past four days." If you must use "duration," it would be "days' duration" as it refers to four days a plural.

Okay, most of you are gonna think, what an idiot, I know, but I get this phrase a few times, and I'm never quite sure how to put it. The doctor, this time, says "I am loathe to give him anti-inflammatory..." Is that right? One time I thought another one said 'loathed', and I'm not sure which way it goes. Thanks....It's Monday for me :)

My friend took her CMT on a Saturday in the office where we worked (has to be 8 years ago approx) and an old-time office manager of mine from a prior office had become a Proctor.....and she stayed with my friend for the 4 or 5 hours that the CMT test took and she (my friend) was not able to look up anything during the time of the test.
Do you think THAT changed? I don't know, I CAN find out next week from my friend, but I somehow don't think they would let you test for CMT and use references of any kind, but I COULD BE WRONG. I will research this next week (when friend returns to town) and see if the rules have changed this dramatically, where references CAN now be used to test for CMT.
Thanks for the heads-up. *S*

And, when I first started out so many years ago our motto was "when in doubt hyphenate" and it was so long ago it had to be incorrect.

I am a QA specialist and I am starting to see a trend away from hyphenating African-American male/female, etc. Does anyone know if there is a new official rule for this that can be referenced? Just what we need, another change.

We were told not to use hyphens with African-American, Latin-American, etc. any longer.

Subject: hyphens
It's a simple rule of English concerning compound adjectives. From The New St. Martin's Handbook (of English usage), "Often you will use adjectives made up of word combinations that are not listed in the dictationary. The guiding principle then is to hyphenate most compound adjectives that precede a noun but not those that follow a noun." Thus "5-French catheter" but "upsized to 5 French."

That is funny because I was taught this by someone that had 15 years experience. I guess we learn all different ways to do things. Thanks for the word help.
