9/24/98: Smartype has released this list of 13,000 abbreviations to the public domain to be used with any program. Thanks to Joe Weber! It's been spellchecked and proofread by two MTs, but please let me know if you find any errors. No medications or number-letter combinations are included. Write me email for a copy of the abbreviations in WP7 in three columns, 109 pages. See https://www.mtdaily.com/mt1/abbv2.html for links to more abbreviations. See https://www.narratek.com/st/amamde.htm for the rules used for this list. Will be adding more later. See https://www.twsolutions.com/glossary/mmlist.htm for Instant Text Glossary of this list. The list is also available to import into ShortHand. See https://www.pcshorthand.com. Judy at keysmt@mail.com can help MTS software users (some MedQuist offices use MTS) to import the list into that program. 8/99: These abbreviations are also in QuickScript, and they can be imported into ShortHand by saving the list as a text file and opening the file converter. - Mary Morken aaae=anaerobic and aerobic aaax=abdominal aortic aneurysm aac=as a child aaf=African-American female
