MT131 - I am sorry if some of us do not know our "basic grammar." Are you the MT God or something? My spell check does not like pandiverticulosis, so I was wondering the same thing. A lot of the MTs are not helpful here, just rude. YUCK!!!!!

that someone will always be able to come up with the word or phrase someone is looking for! I've gotten help many times from this board, and it seems that there's always someone out there who can get it. Kudos to Txczech!

If you read the initial post, the OP said she looked "everywhere" for the term. Obviously, had she had reference books, she would have found it easily, without losing time searching
"everywhere" (is Google "everywhere?") and then posting her question here, waiting for a response, etc. Time is money!!!
I help on this board all the time and consider myself one of the "nice people," providing support and researched responses to posts. The best advice I can give as a "nice" person is to buy the appropriate tools of the trade--reference books geared to medical transcription.
These newbies are making their lives very difficult by not getting the appropriate tools. If they looked in a proper MT book, they'd find their answers and learn something while researching and be less dependent on strangers whose MT backgrounds are unknown.

However, if you wish to be hateful, catty, smart-mouthed, condescending, or rude - go post somewhere else.
If you have issues with a particular post, report it - but do not start flames or post wars on this forum.
The Word board is designed to be of assistance and we will keep it that way!
