overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read

OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

Subject: to put a comma in front of 'and that' is definitely wron.g.sm

Why would you do that? Since when do you put a comma in front of 'that', the less in front of 'and that'.

The sentence structure in the second part is wrong, it does not make any sense, so I corrected it in my other post.

Subject: s/l mark-type pigmentation?

On the physical exam in the category of extremities, the doctor says "The patient has bilateral chronic stasis changes in the lower extremities.  There is associated [s/l mark-type profigmentation] with no edema, erythema or warmth"


I'm assuming the "profigmentation" is maybe pigmentation that he just stumbled on but I'm not positive on that.  The patient was being seen for bilateral lower extremity recurrent cellulitis.


Any ideas?

especially the drugs are listed categorically. For instance, if you heard a drug but couldn't quite get it but knew it was for (for example) Parkinson's disease, you could look it up under "antiparkinsonian drugs." Drake & Drake has a similar book, XRef.

I'd love to use the Internet more but I can only get dialup in my area and it takes waaaaay too long. Books are faster for me.
