I think he's making it a combined term, height and weight, as in singular.

Height and weight are or were, present tense or past tense. Self-reported is an adjective. He thinks he's making it a combined term. Do whatever gets you in the least amount of trouble.

Weight Is 124 And 3/4 Pounds Jun 01, 2011I don't get this whole weight thing. There are 16 ounces in a pound. How do you transcribe 124 and 3/4 pounds?
When the doc said 212 and a half pounds, I put 212.8 lbs because there are 16 ounces in a pound and half of that would be 8 ounces, but it was changed to 212.5 lbs, which to me says 212 pounds 5 ounces. So, how would you type 124 and 3/4 pounds? TIA! ...

Monitor Bigger Than 19 Inches? Jul 06, 2011I have MS Word, IT, Bytescribe, and WordPad all up side-by-side at the same time. Then when I need to get on the internet I minimize those. I'm thinking it might be nice with a bigger screen to spread MS Word out bigger so the print will be bigger and easier to read. I know I could make it bigger by changing it from say 100% to 150% but I don't like to go bigger than the page width. I also might be able to leave the internet open too with a bigger monitor.

My Reasons For Dragging My Feet On 6.1. Sep 15, 2010have nothing to do with difficulty, upload/download time, or any MT-related issues.
The majority of you STILL DON'T GET IT. 6.1. is an enhancement for back-end editing.
Back-end editing means more automatiion and need for fewer and fewer real live human MTs to do MQ work.
So great, jump on the bandwagon to eliminate your jobs. I'm relatively confident I'll be one of the last to be let go whether I upgrade to 6.1 now or a month from now or whenever.

Info Needed From Anyone Who Reported MTSO For Not Paying Overtime Please. Oct 17, 2010What was the process you went through? I would guess you most likely would contact the labor board.
