Subject: Sorry to disappoint
As I've said before, I'm not perfect, just forgiven. I don't feel that I threw away an opportunity because as I said, I offered an opening and it was turned down. With all the drama of the last few days, I wanted to ascertain the authenticity of the poster. I don't think I was asking too much from that. I hope you realize I never put down Sten-Tel, the company, anywhere. If the poster was looking for a way to redeem the "misinformation", why did it need to go through me? Isn't it just as simple to put information out there to refute the negativities posted and let a discussion ensue naturally? If he felt he had made a mistake in asking something of me, again, the responsibility of that decision was his to make.
I gotta run...need to get the garbage off my desk in Basement B.

as no one else here seems to know how to do that.
I also wanted to see what would happen once posted, and you helped underscore my point. We can be good MTs or we can continue to be mediocre and then need to shut up about work going offshore. It is one thing to know when to use disc and when to use disk and another to give the client what they want, BUT to adopt an attitude of not knowing when it is proper to use these words, we diminished our value.
Try looking up articular d. in Stedman's Dictionary and see which d. it instructs you to use. If you use disc for ortho, you might be using the wrong one.
Again, give the client what it wants BUT please know the difference and when people ask questions here, do not enable them. Educate them. Know how to be a proper MT, even if your client asks you to transcribe improperly.
