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.....

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.

Quit correcting typos. We need support, not correction.
Subject: Quit correcting typos. We need support, not correction.
This is not direct specifically at you. I wish everyone would quit being so darn picky in these forums. We are all tired and just needing help on the question. We are all typing without spell check in this program which we are all very accustom to relying on. Give us all a break....and yes...I am SURE that I have a typo in here and don't care. This is where we come for support, not correction.

I do too, type out the words that is. But I'm so paranoid. Focus dinged me for putting a hyphen between follow and up. I'm not with the same company now so Focus is no longer an issue. Love my new company!
