Hi, Quyen.

It might be helpful if you were to post the sentence you're asking about for your "issue/issued" issue -- er, conundrum.

Comment by Quyen on May 17, 2016 at 8:34

What is the right word:  issue patents or issuED patents?

"Issued patents" seem to make more sense, but I'm just not sure if I've heard it correctly every time it has come up.

Thanks.

My preference would be:

fourteen-six

I hate when they say numbers like that.

Please tell me how to write out in transcript 14,6 meaning 14,600. "14.6" "14-6" "14,6"? Fourteen-six?

I'm not sure where to write this question. How would you format this question? I don't know much about Excel columns and rows.


#1) Q. And then we have the -- in Column A H we have expenses paid before and then expenses paid after.

#2)  Q. And then we have the -- in Column AH we have expenses paid before and then expenses paid after.

TIA!

bus. dev.

bizdev

biz dev

BizDev

I see it so many different ways on the Internet. What is the most common/correct (if there is a correct way) spelling?

Thx!

Do you have any special training that you received?  Certifications, licenses, things of that nature? 

I use the comma because "things of that nature" doesn't really mean anything by itself.

What is the correct way to punctuate this? I worried about in between received and certifications. TIA

I wouldn't use the comma either.
