Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm

Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm

will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.

    And Carol was nice enough to type the answer to you.....not realizing you're probably testing over offshore somewhere.  This is not allowed on this board - we do not supply answers to testers. 


    not the spelling police here - just annoyed that they come in here and use us for the answers.........and this one appears to be an offshore MT just by what all she/he misspelled.......some of the most basic words.

    Please be aware that "rhodilla" and "ghie" are offshore posters.  I have banned their addresses (IP and e-mail).  Always watch for "clues" and "signs" -- multiple posts at a single time, etc.  Report suspicious posts.


    I will try to keep watching for suspicious posts.

    Opposition is the movement whereby the palmar aspect of the thumb touches the palmar aspect of another finger of the same hand. (When the contact is not by their palmar aspects, the movement is merely apposition.) The converse of opposition is reposition. These movements occur at all the joints of the thumb, although opposition takes place mainly at the carpometacarpal joint.(source--Dartmouth.edu)
