because my family was getting fed up with my long hours ( and myself)and I had a very,very good dictator. I hated to do it but I was under the impression that there were companies out there where p/t was 500-600 lines a day. THat is the amount of work that I can handle right now.

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.

Subject: If someone has a bone to pick with the BOS, whatever your gripe is, but with well-respected DICTIONARIES...sm

here is the Dorland's verbatim entry for "decubitus:"

decubitus (pronunciation key); pleural DECUBITUS (pronunciation key): Then goes on to explain its various usages as in decubitus position, Andral's decubitus, dorsal, lateral, and ventral decubitis, etc. Specifies plural is decubitus, not decubiti, as does Stedman's Medical Phrase Index, and Mosby's.....anyway, stick to your own opinion, as you invariably will.
