If it was me, I would argue the point with QA on that one.

take out the comma between nucleations and right; I would also take out the comma between right and x 3, I would place a comma between fifth and "and". This is really a confusing sentence, as I am not sure if it means "right times 3" or right third, second, and fifth DIP joints. that would make a difference in the punctuation.

But you're right...I have a lot of CNPs and PA-Cs who are constantly saying the wrong things. For example, the CNP who keeps saying dilution instead of deciliter for the UA, when she does an eye exam she always says the lids were averted instead of everted. She SPELLS it for me and always sounds like she's disgusted because she keeps spelling it with an A and I keep typing it with an E. It has always been Everted. Averted means to look away. I type these things up for years and years and then someone comes along like her and I start questioning myself, and maybe I'm typing it wrong...it just drives me crazy.
