Disc versus disk - Same Posted: May 13th, 2017 - 11:40 am In Reply to: I guess people might get confused - sm
That is the way we have done it forever. But recently we got PC feedback to always use "disc." We also got feedback that it's OK to say "1.5 inches." I just can't. It's still disk for spine and disc for the eye, and unless it's a verbatim account, 1.5 inches will never be left as a decimal, no matter how they dictate it. And every time someone says to do it one way, someone else comes along and says to do something else, so I am just following the guidelines we have always used.
The other day QA changed all my "H pylori" to "H. pylori." Like 6 times in one report, every single one crossed out and changed. Ha ha. And I had just sent it in for 1 completely unrelated blank. We have been leaving out the periods for years, haven't we? So I just keep leaving them out.
Maybe that's partly why ASR gets so screwed up. I always tend to think it's the ILPs based on what people have posted here, but maybe it's a lot of things, including us all being told different things. Maybe none of us are typing disk wrong and ASR takes it upon itself. Who knows.
Do you ever get so horrified by ASR output you go look up past reports? To see if we really are all typing it the wrong way like that? Every time I do that, they were done right. Lots of other errors but not that particular one. Anyway, I don't really get it. Go figure.
