#-blade or # blade - TLMom
Posted: Dec 14, 2010
So, in text should it be #-blade or # blade (i.e., 11-blade or 11 blade)? It would make sense to be that it should be 11 blade, but there are many MTs who type 11-blade (or 15-blade or whatever). When editing for my hospital, I change it to 11 blade, but I'm starting to doubt myself.
Thanks for the help!
I use the hyphen - nm

nm - Do you use hyphen bc... - TLMom
[ In Reply To ..]...it looks better or because you have been told to? I don't understand the reason for the hyphen gramatically.
#blade - mnmt
[ In Reply To ..]I work for a large teaching hospital in the Midwest and we're told to transcribe as 11 blade, no hyphen, no # sign.
You still use a space though, right? - TLMom
[ In Reply To ..]That's what I was told originally too and what I understood from classes, BOS, RMT exam, etc... but so many use the hyphen, that I was starting to doubt myself.
Thanks.
