the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
Subject: the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
I do have some docs who dictate it as "6800" and others who dictate it as "6.8 thousand" and others simply as "6.8."
I know, from my education, that WBC on a CBC is in thousands. But i transcribe it however they dictate it.
I can understand how an MT who "always did it" one way could have trouble typing it the other way when she knows it's technically correct either way.

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.
As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.
This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.
PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
