I have that same argument with my spellchecker.
Subject: I have that same argument with my spellchecker.
Couldn't document it in my reference books, only got 800 hits on Google. However, the doctor said it and QA changed it back to brachioplexus from brachial plexus, so I added it to the spellchecker dictionary. It's another one of those undocumentable words that are becoming commonly used.

Subject: are you using a medical spellchecker?--sm
I have Stedman's medical spellchecker installed and it will automatically cap the ones that are brand names and leave uncapped the generic ones. Very rarely do I have to check on line to see.

 Nobody's laughing :) This wouldn't exactly fit, but Kleinert-Kutz is in my ortho book, but it's a bone cutter/rongeur/rasp/forceps, etc. Could you make that fit?

I know we need to defer to the BOS, which is MQ's basic style, so I put 3. Funny how it really didn't occur to me until today, seeing it as "3" in ASR.
Thanks.

as they are 3 different procedures that have nothing to do with each other. I would separate them as above. I guess you could have a D&C at the same time as an appy but not 3.

and google is NOT the authority on when to use which word. You can find errors all over the internet and I don't consider google a research tool unless it takes me to a manufacturer web site so I can find a copyrighted spelling.
A good dictionary and solid reference materials are needed. Additionally, the OP did not say the client wanted it one way or another so your bringing that into the equation makes you look as though you are trying to justify what you do, and I really do not care what you do. You are only trying to deflect the direction of the discussion to one in which you _win_ and you try to make me _lose_. The people here who lose are the ones who still don't know the CORRECT usage of the 2 words.
I stand my ground. The OP still does not know definitively how to use these 2 words based on this thread. And you can huff and puff and try to blow my house down but you still don't _win_.

Retzius doesn't seem right
Subject: Retzius doesn't seem right
Retzius is hard to find because it refers you all over the place, but appears to be some kind of cell column and has something to do with the cochlea. It's quite a stretch from what it sounds like--"the trex-i-vuss or drex-i-vuss
