I have a patient on my schedule today coming in for cognitive testing.

[Aristus]

The scheduler wrote down "cognotive testing."

I'm not sure what to say to the scheduler...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. Have the patient administer the test to the scheduler

I will note in passing that there are words in medicine and science have "gnosis" as a root or a part.

diagnosis
prognosis
stegnosis
biognosis
geognosis
hipgnosis
psygnosis

pharmacognosy

And there is

cognoscenti
cognomen

10. Hipgnosis isn't a medical term

It was an artist collective that designed album covers.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Yes. My mistake for copypasting from a dictionary site. And hypnosis has a different root

"hypnosis" would be the medical term.

Different root, but still an 'o'.

[Harker]

2. People...

man, woman, television... camera.

[Joinfortmill]

11. 👍

3. don't say anything about this--just pay attention

for other types of errors

this might have just been a case of distraction or trying to do more than one thing at a time.

6. Or just being a bad speller all his/her life.

[Iggo]

4. "Get in line."

5. My wife beat me down completely from correcting spelling errors

She once gave me a grocery list with "spinage"... I thought it was hilarious, she didn't... she won.

9. Now my phone is the wise guy!

often "auto" correcting to things that aren't on my list! I'll get to the store and look at the list on my phone and it will say car.

Sometimes I can remember what it was I typed. Other times it's just random words like poll.

7. We had a table that a kid damaged

pretty badly by slamming a heavy toy on it. While discussing reparations/replacement with the parents, my husband wrote in a note that the table was permanently "scared," leaving out the second "r." When I saw it, I couldn't help laughing and saying, "I'll bet it was."

He did not think it was funny.

Did I mention that he was an English major?

8. As long as the sheduler doesn't skrew up the dates/thymes, ...

... let it go.

You could replace this person with someone who spells correctly and messes up the month.
