URI in my neck of the woods. (sniff, hack, snort) And TIA (thanks in advance) is also a transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke. I always jump when I see those two.

Anyway, just a gentle reminder to all from someone who is pretty obsessed with grammar herself, to remember that not everyone was actually taught a lot of these things, or at any rate, they didn't have teachers who made sure that it stuck.
