I have entered "pama" as my shortcut for parotid mass; but also I transcribe the phrase "palpable mass", and would logically use "pama" for that. What is a good way in general to handle phrases that would use the same shortcut? Also, specifically for these two phrases, what would you use? I would like to be consistent so the shortcuts are easy to remember. Thanks for your input- ...
I know I should know this but I can't get it to come to the front of my brain....

Should "2-cm" be hyphenated? I know if it was just 2-cm mass it would be. In this case, 4 x 2 x 2 is still describing "mass" but it does not look right this way 4 x 2 x 2-cm mass.

Look how "excited" we are Nuance. Transparent? Nope, not even to somebody with a calculus degree. Your insult to our intelligence is the final slap in the face. Let the Indians do it. OH WAIT, that was your intention all along. Good luck with that, karma's about to bite you good. ...
Anyone else feel this way??? They come up with this majorly confusing way of "compensation" for us and have known all along a) we would not like it and b) the majority of us would not be receiving it, so their wish is coming true. Pretty soon they will have all Indians doing their work. I am giving it to end of January and then I am outta here too. Can't handle the stress of this new plan.
