numbers at beginning of a sentence - ctc
Posted: Nov 09, 2010
If a number starts a sentence like 5 mm do you spell out the 5 or start if with the 5.
TIA
I usually recast, unless they are really strictly verbatim, - then I spell out unless the number is over 100

n/m
Five mm, or A 5 mm... - do what benefits you most - wink wink nudge nudge

P.r.n. Or P.R.N. At The Beginning Of A Sentence Mar 24, 2012This has always bugged me. It looks better with P.R.N. (all caps) at the beginning of a sentence, instead of P.r.n. (just first letter cap'd). Also, P.O. or P.o. at the beginning of a sentence.
1. Bactrim.
2. P.R.N. or P.r.n. fentanyl.
3. P.O. or P.o. steroids.
4. Potassium.
Any suggestions?

Does Everybody Keep A Log Of At Least Job Numbers? Jan 25, 2013I've been keeping a Notepad document running of all my job numbers in order to confirm Fiesa feedback (sometimes they get the wrong MT, had that happen 3 times so far, so you need to check that if a correction is not familiar to you) or whatever issues might come up.

Numbers And Meds Feb 04, 2010
I know we should type the sentence below as:
Advair 250/50 1 puff twice a day but to me, that looks like it could be confusing when the dosage and amount of med are so close together. I know we're not supposed to do it like this but this is what I type instead:
Advair 250/50 one puff twice a day.
Am I committing a horrible crime here?

Do The Productivity Numbers Really Add Up? Apr 13, 2011My actual ASR lph and what they say I could do if there wasn't any "inactive" time is usually almost double. I have no idea how I can humanly close that gap. And yes, I am not using the dreaded mouse. I put my nose to the grind stone with absolutely no inactivity due to doing anything other than edit, and yet, I still come up with the lph they report I am doing rather than what they think I should be able to do without any inactivity. Interesting that this time they had a mouse click re ...

Synernet Numbers Jan 03, 2015Maybe an odd question but do any of my fellow Synernet MTs know, even approximately, how many of us there are? Seems they are always hiring yet we're always still in MOT.
