Welcome to Medical Monday, a new weekly post featured onwww.ILoveSteno.com. It’s important that court reporters and stenographers are familiar with medical terms. Therefore, I’ve added medical terminology to me course of study. Thus, I will be sharing what I am learning.

This week’s term is, “cellulitis.”

Cellulitis is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as: “Diffuse and especially subcutaneous inflammation of connective tissue.”

When writing, “cellulitis” on the machine there are several options:

Option #1: CEL/LAOITS
Option #2: SEL/LAOITS (This option may conflict with the term “sell lights” if you use the attached final -S for your plurals).
Option #3: (The single-stroke option) SLAOITS
