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 am doing an OP report that is not a strict verbatim and is able to be corrected to best English. The dictator says: Tibial guide retrocut was placed, drilled, and then reamed "retro-ly". He stumbled around a bit before settling on "retro-ly" because he, too, knew that couldn't be correct, but he, like me, has blanked on what the heck it should be. Plantar is plantarly, lateral is laterally....what does retro become? Does it just get stretched out to retrograd ...

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. Honestly liked the old way better, at least if I got the incentive I knew it w ...
