My guess is that people were probably doing it both ways, and so to just make it easier, they picked the one that was easier to read.

I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....

Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

For a long time, ASR was typing African-American. Now, it's typing African American without the hyphen. Does anyone know which way is correct?
Thank you so much in advance. I hope you're having a great transcription day and getting at least some easy docs. I can't believe resident changeover is just a few months away. Oh, how I dread that....

Subject: African-American hyphenated?
I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.

Subject: Cool. Used to do neuro, times have changed. :)
Tooooooooooo long ago. :)
I'll have to remember that in case I ever have the need to go back to neuro. Not one of my favorites, kinda sad, but okay at the time.
When I said "cool" I really meant it. I like to pass through word help occasionally. You never know what you're going to find.
Every little bit helps.
