forward cant - Cheela

A cant is an older English word for a pace, or gait.
When the word "canter" is used about horses, it goes like this: The canter is a controlled, three-beat gait performed by a horse. It is a natural gait possessed by all horses. Could easily apply to humans.

Cheela - Thank you too! I'd never heard of it before. - Angie

I got an email from HR today that my husband was 'accidentally' added back on my insurance. Note that he has not been on my insurance for almost a year. How this happened I have no idea. That means my paycheck tomorrow will have about $400 deducted from it just for that error. The email basically said "Ooops, sorry about our mistake you will be reimbursed with *next* paycheck." That means a 2-week wait for their mistake. I am not desperate for the money (thank ...

Just switched to Express Scribe and trying to figure out a setting. I have quite a few dictators where I just listen to the dictation and change a few words here and there. However, when I hit the foot pedal to fast forward through the report it will only fast forward for a few seconds and then it goes back to normal speed. Anyone know how to change the setting where it would continue to move in fast forward speed until I take my foot off the pedal. Any help is appreciated! ...
