QA? That poster is a QA person??...sm

Posted By: hemolytic anemia - not the back/spine....sm on 2006-09-16

Subject: QA? That poster is a QA person??...sm

must be brand new to QA....my QA person would definitely know that cold agglutinin has to do with blood and not the spine...IMHO..and wouldn't make those *most diabetics have hypertension* types of blanket statements and my QA person is up there in years of experience......and work ethics.


Who knows - anyone can be anything on this medium we call the web. 


Take it all with a HUGE grain of salt, and believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear in the life.  For all we know, the poster could be a troll.  Again, we don't know that yet - we'd have to take a *wait and watch* attitude.

But I have seen one person in particular
who asks word after word that could easily be looked up.  You can tell by the rest of the sentence and the s/l.  I don't mind helping newbies; in fact, I enjoy it; but give me a break.  Do some of the research yourselves, guys.

as some accounts are not able to process certain symbols. If you were able to do it the usual, correct way, it would be m with a superscripted 2 (no spaces, no periods). Some accounts I've done in the past have requested it written out as you have it. Best to check with your QA.

Subject: told perhaps by a french person?..sm

In French, the term *cul-de-sac* means bottom of the bag (no, it doesn't mean *dead-end street*), bottom of the sack, to us, in English. 


So, I'm thinking perhaps a person of French descent might have instructed you on that and in France/French-speaking countries, it would be correct, sac = sack; however, not here if used as a container to place something in that is not body-part related.

it would seem that the question was asked because you asked so many questions in a row. That normally does not happen unless someone is doing homework or taking a test.

Subject: The poster was asking if she should

type verbatim. The doc is saying pussy and that is what she should type.

If you look in the dictionary, there is a definition for pussy which means "full of or resembling pus".

You can't say "no way is "pussy" correct. You are telling her to alter the sentence and she said it is a verbatim account. It is a word.

If it is not verbatim, then alter away but you better be careful if you do this a lot.

she'll never be a quality mt and certainly not a valuable employee with her lack of insight or ethics

I read both of your posts and it was a bit confusing to me. If you are asking what the word *saline* may be than that would clear it up. The confusion is that you put *saline s/l*. Normally, people put the s/l before the word they are trying to figure out. If there is another word in the sentence that goes after saline, you have to give us what it sounds like. If the sounds like is saline, that would help to clear it up.

Subject: that's right but the poster's sentence....sm

the poster's sentence is what I was describing - here's the sentence:


Cooperative young man who tends not to be very s/l robose (roe-bose)


and so I said in the subject line - *not very talkative* - sentence being *tends not to be very verbose.....


I guess I should have explained that better in my original post - sorry about that *S*
