Thanks, Rosalie,

I think that's it!!!

I am so tired right now I can't think straight.  Of course I am working on a rush.  My question is about out side.  Is it two words or one word, "outside."  I looked it up in two dictionaries but b/c of my brain fog I'm still not sure.

Thanks,

Janiece

Q. Do you have any idea of the number of times that -- for example, that Mr. Smith called you out side of your -- out side of the time that you were on the clock?

It's always one word.

Thank you, Marla.  That's what I thought but I'm very tired.

We've all been there.  :)  Keep truckin'!

Which is preferred tax adviser or tax advisor?  I always use adviser, but the exhibits are saying tax advisor. 

Adviser is what Merriam-Webster shows.  Most people don't realize that it should be "er" instead of "or."  Personally, I always retain bad spellings and punctuation in quotes from documents so I can be as accurate and true as possible to the document that's being quoted.  But, outside of quotes, I wouldn't defer to them for how to spell regular words because people are notoriously bad spellers.

I know we are not supposed to use the ampersand.

If you have a depo that is medical and they are talking about a history and physical and they say "H&P" would you use the ampersand in that instance?

I would, Janiece.

When a witness says three hundred thirty-two five, meaning 332,500, how would you put that in a transcript?  It is a videotape.

Thanks.

A)  332,5

B)  332.5

I'd use RGIS throughout the transcript.  For the pronunciation question, I'd put:

By "Regis," you mean RGIS; right?

"Keel" is a part of the boat's hull, I believe.

"On the keel"

Is "Bat Mitzvah" capitalized?

bat mitzvah

No, it's not capped.

Thank you, Quyen!!!

Welcome. :)

Does anyone have a good way to remember the difference between "discreet" and "discrete"?

Janiece, I was taught that the two "e"s are separate in discrete, which means separate

I am working on the deposition of an actuary.  Oh, yes, a very interesting -- NOT.  Have you heard of something that sounds like DISHA (a long I)?  Is it an acronym?  I have no clue.

Thanks,

Janiece

Mr. Higgins: From Mr. Young's client certification declaration. You see that it's got the ECF and DIESH A up at the top of the page?

Does the following fit?  Developing Initiatives For Social And Human Action, DISHA

Rosalie,

There is not a lot of context to help me figure it out.  I think that would work.  I'm trying to get the attorney to help me too, but so far he has not responded.  

Rosalie, can you believe this?  He said the word "indicia."  I know that word.  Boy, it did not sound like indicia.

Thanks for trying to help me.

Janiece

He pronounced it with a long I.  I just looked it up in Webster's.  It's supposed to be pronounced with a short I.  I heard the "in" part of the word as "and."  What was throwing me off was that he said it incorrectly.  I mean, really!!!!!!!!

glad you finally have the correct word.

back charge, Webster's says it is two words.  Should I hyphenate it?  back-charge 

In this instance would "left over" be one word "leftover" or two words?

Thanks,

Janiece

When we were at the top right here we had about half a pallet, maybe three-quarters of a pallet that was left over.

Yea, Janet.  That's what I thought!!!

When they say H and P referring to history and physical, would you go with H&P or H and P?

Thanks

I'd do it H&P.

Hey, Janet, that's what I thought.  I always hesitate to use the "&" because that's what I learned in school but I agree I should use it in this instance.  How was your 4th?  We had nice temperatures here.  Usually it is really hot this time of year but it was nice, just lower 80s.  It's starting to heat up now.

We had a great time on the 4th.  It was hot here, about 90.  We got to DJ for a town's Fourth of July celebration.  I think we had more fun than the people attending.  The little kids dancing were so cute that I had a smile on my face the whole time.  My husband taught them the Cupid Shuffle. 

That sounds great!!!

If someone said soil was "depo'd" (phonetic) from the front to the backyard, would you think he was making an action word out of "depot" when he means "moved"?
What I did see was some soil that had been depot'd (?) to the backyard

Or maybe short for deposited, and go with depo'd?

Have you ever heard the word "hubach"?  It was said by a fireman talking about a hubach fire.

Could it be the name of a particular fire?  I found Tubac fire (Arizona).

alls or all's ?

I've confused myself with using: sometime after or some time after. Can it be both depending on the sentence or always on or the other?

Stephanie -

If you put the word "quite" before the word "some time" and it makes sense, then it will be two words.  That's how I've always done it.

For example, "I go to the store quite sometime."  That doesn't make sense, so it would be one word "sometime."

"It took me quite some time to drive here."  That makes sense so it would be two words, "some time."

Hope that helps.

Thanks.  I will start using that.

Thanks, Kelli.  I hadn't heard that trick before. 

Thanks, Kelli, great tip.

When someone is saying "Let's just cut to the quick" what is the correct spelling for "quick"?

Quick. 

I had an attorney say "rogs" for interrogatories.  Would you spell it "rogs"?

Thx,

Janiece

I was wondering how you write p.m. if it's at the beginning of a sentence.  

I have my proofers saying different ways.

A.  2:00.

Q.  p.m.?   OR

     P.M.?   OR

     P.m.?

How do you format "2 2 3 shift"?

2-2 3 shift

Angela - "On the dole" means you're collecting welfare or some other form of public assistance. Don't know if that helps at all

I need the spelling for a company call C Biz. I know I've had it before and I can't remember how to spell it. It has to do with business, possibly insurance. TIA
