Subject: In Stedman's ENT I see mucous plug (under plug).

This is one of those cases where the harder you think the more confused you can get. If it is mucous plug, then it seems like that would really be short for mucous membrane plug to me. Mucus plug, as in plug of mucus, does seem more logical to me.

For a long time, ASR was typing African-American.  Now, it's typing African American without the hyphen.  Does anyone know which way is correct?


Thank you so much in advance.  I hope you're having a great transcription day and getting at least some easy docs.  I can't believe resident changeover is just a few months away.  Oh, how I dread that....

I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time.  Now, it comes up without the hypen.  Thoughts?  We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male. 


One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.
