Well, you KNOW I agree with you 1000% on this. I see the issue if all the
services are insisting on this, but some of these students will go on to work
in other environments, so you would think they would learn the correct way of
transcribing first.

However, I still wish I knew what these services mean by "verbatim." Does that
mean if the doctor says" "Mary ain't had no chest pain today" that is what they
are to type? Even simple subject verb agreement is to be typed incorrectly?
