type as dictated, or change it to "pants" ? My first instinct was to look up the word "pantalones" online to make sure I spelled it correctly, and type as dictated. Then I thought, for clarity (and future readers of the note who might not speak Spanish - though I think you could figure out what is meant by reading the report), should I change it to "pants" ? She does say "pantalones" in kind of a "cute" way. She also yawns loudly at the end, so maybe she's a little loopy.  LOL Opinions?

Hi, Newbie!
Guess they haven't taught you about homonyms yet. Sight, site, and cite are a good example of them. The correct one is site (location).
Also try ophthalmology specialty book, Surgical Word Book, and whatever hospital you're working for does have a list of the instruments used. I used to call Sterile Supply directly (in a former lifetime when we worked in hospitals) and then check their spelling.
Good luck.

i think it's because "small" and "moderate" are COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES and the grammar experts say not to use a hyphen with comparative or superlative adjectives...geez...language is so weird, and MT is so hard, hyphens are the LEAST of our worries, yes? =)

telling us that the apostrophe is the same as saying "of," as in 17 weeks of gestation, which would be okay. Or you can say a 17-week gestation. Either way would be okay I would think. Not 17-weeks gestation though.
