like I do! So, my vote is to not change it so we know if the company

literature has been vetted by an RD!

Nope-not yet corrected. I had a student tell me 10 min. ago that her spell

check had changed

the spelling.

I wondered this myself a few years back and realized some things. When

typing the word " dietitian " in a Word doc it actually spellchecks and

corrects it to " dietician " . If you've used word on your computer don't try

it because once it happened the first time I'm sure you added the correct

spelling to your dictionary so it won't flag again.

Anyway...they are BOTH correct spellings, IF you are just using the word

dietitian. However if referring to the RD credential...it very specifically

(and properly) is spelled with a " t " .

Once I realized that I quit getting so hung up about it. But anyone know

Bill Gates? :-) I think until Word gets corrected it will always be a

problem. It might already have been for all I know.

Would love to know why everyone does not spell our names properly. Is the

dietician spelling British or something? Anyway I agree with all the

discussion here. Have you heard " the fat lady in the kitchen " as a

description of

us...

I was thinking it was time for us to rename ourselves. Diploma Nurses get

a

BS on line and call themselves Nurse Clinicians and get a raise.....and

the praise... You know what we get..... !!!!!!!!!! Hey Dietary....., Call

Dietary.....etc meaning us...

ADA needs to rename us so we can get some respect... Any ideas here.

We are more like practitioners and many of us have master's with

internships....

Subject: Need some help

Working on a " project " - need some ideas for all your years as a Dietitian

-

what are some misconceptions or annoying things people have said to you

over

the years. You can email me privately or answer here.

Some of mine include:

1) The spelling of " Dietician "

2) use of the term " nutritionist " and Dietitian being the same thing

3) You are a dietitian so you must love to cook

4) Shock that dietitians like sweets

Any more????
