No way. You're counting cards, man!
In all seriousness, though: I read that once silently, and then pronounced it perfectly out loud.  It helps having a medical background... (One job I had several years ago was reading radiology reports to physicians when they called.)

David, only someone like yourself that has read medical terms before would even know where to BEGIN with that mofo.  |

Sorry if I came off boasting. All of us have stronger skills in some areas than others.
Medical narrations can pay well; training in anatomy and pharmacological terms is worthwhile if you want to do that kind of work.

Three destroyed pop filters later, a job well done.

I didn't think you came off boasting at all! I wish I had a background with that terminology before I did the job.
When I teach ear-prompting seminars, I use that gig as an example of 'worst case scenario'.  |

Anybody in ANY other profession reading this thread would certainly get a giggle... it's like a Bulletin Board for car mechanics comparing the difficulty of the various types of electronic ignitions, or the cardiothoracic surgeon one-upping the next on his choice of sternum-splitters. How 'bout the farmer extolling the virtues of John Deere over Case/International.
I love it! All-y'all are tops!

"Tours of the facility"
I had that innocuous-looking little phrase in a read this morning.
The engineer tried to say it, too-- and had to laugh because he couldn't.

Tourzuh zuh fuzilitee...?
How about "Conservative leader. Building Trust."? Oh, there's nothing tough about that phrase--it's merely one I have the privilege of saying each time the Binkley For Governor campaign hires me for their tv and radio spots, cha cha cha. Anyone out there in the Last Frontier ?

The last frontier? Utah? or space? or?
what about all those fun Arabic or Italian Names? not to mention the the Asian and many other names in this world........I love the ones...."please make sure you can pronounce the name...if you can't don't bother to audition"...and then no pronunciation guide. |

Just this morning, my brain/tongue fart came courtesy of: disciplinary report.
For those few moments, I'd have happily traded that for the medical and pharmaceutical stuff. We all had a few laughs and I eventually got through it. |
