It's probably a little difficult to dictate in perfect sentences, but it just frustrates me so much when a doctor dictates "both" and then names three things. Why say both...both means two! I feel like I should correct it, but I don't want to get in trouble for too much editing.  ...

Short Cut For List Punctuation In A Drug List? (Fluency)
Dec 06, 2014

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...
