I re-read the original post and referenced ...time to time... not a reference to ...a think tank a month... I think the followup postings are giving greater credibility that George was not really George.
BTW, who on this board appointed me the spokesperson? I know I wasn't asked, nor did I volunteer. I think all this was done to continue the drama in another vein.

But my Stedman's disagreed (LOL) . . . intertrigonal is what netscape said "did you mean . . ." when I googled, and I actually went with intertriginous, which is what came up in the archives here when I asked the question, and Stedman's liked that too (although the PA did say "al" v. "ous".

I was told when I was training at one point WITH MedQuist (when I was still on full QA) to use the numbers 1 and 2 and not the Roman numerals. I hope that helps. It might very well be a matter of preference for the account you are working on, but I believe the numbers 1 and 2 are correct.

I have a doctor physicially go into a report and change what I had transcribed to C-pap, so each doctor wants things his way. With a hyphen does not change the meaning and if a doc wants things certain ways and it is verbatim, the you almost always have to go with the doc unless it is totally wrong. I would refer it to my supervisor.
