Subject: I was told to leave as satting
since most of my accounts have been verbatim and no expanding to saturation, etc. To me, sating would mean like to sate, i.e., to satisfy a desire or appetite.

as the dictator says, unless totally doesn't make sense. Sometimes it takes too much thought to think about how to rearrange a sentence. Obvious things like was/were and numbers at the beginning of sentences are changed, but things like you describe we leave.

I always type satting. One of those "docisms" or slang that you will run into along the way. Here is a link from MT Daily that tells a little more about this stuff. Good luck.

by QA on one account, because she had addressed this before with the company and account, pussy would be changed to pus-like when dictated. But, I would check with your account specs or manager, as they may not want anything changed at all. Per Bos, page 340, adjective is pus-like, i.e., The wound was filled with pus-like fluid. HTH.

But my Stedman's disagreed (LOL) . . . intertrigonal is what netscape said "did you mean . . ." when I googled, and I actually went with intertriginous, which is what came up in the archives here when I asked the question, and Stedman's liked that too (although the PA did say "al" v. "ous".

I was told when I was training at one point WITH MedQuist (when I was still on full QA) to use the numbers 1 and 2 and not the Roman numerals. I hope that helps. It might very well be a matter of preference for the account you are working on, but I believe the numbers 1 and 2 are correct.

I have to send the report in because I have other blanks. I am going to leave this word all caps, and when QA checks it, I will see if they change it or not.

I have a doctor physicially go into a report and change what I had transcribed to C-pap, so each doctor wants things his way. With a hyphen does not change the meaning and if a doc wants things certain ways and it is verbatim, the you almost always have to go with the doc unless it is totally wrong. I would refer it to my supervisor.
