Today's tip: How to spell

[Rebecca Petris]

1. Optometrist (that's the one with OD after his name)

2. Ophthalmologist (that's the one with MD after his name)

Trust me, eye doctors everywhere will love you even more if you spell them right.

And NEVER refer to either of them as an "optician." Bad juju...

I worked as a provider relations rep for an insurance company. I had to learn how spell all the specialties and ophTHALmologist was among the hardest.

I stand corrected and I'm terribly embarrassed. I've checked my work, and I've spelled ophthalmologist incorrectly on this BB. I was my school spelling bee champ! This is an outrage.

I won with the word: sphygmomanometer.

Yikes Diana - I don't know how you can show your face after such an indiscretion.

I may change my avatar to a heel or something.
