The germs that cause bacterial and viral tonsillitis are very contagious. You may be at higher risk for tonsillitis under certain conditions.  If you've been sharing food and beverages with others, such as at parties and other get togethers, you could have easily contracted the germs. This heightens your risk and increases the likelihood the symptoms you're experiencing are related to tonsillitis. Nasal obstructions, those severe enough to cause you to breathe through your mouth, heighten your risk for tonsillitis. Droplets of pathogens pass through the air when an infected person breaths, coughs, and sneezes. Breathing through your mouth increases the risk for tonsillitis. While anyone who still has their tonsils is at risk for tonsillitis, certain factors increase your risk.  Smoking can increase your risk as it leads to more frequent mouth-breathing and reduces the body's capacity to fight disease. Excessive alcohol use lowers the immune system, making you more susceptible to disease.When drinking, people are also looser about drink sharing. This can lead to infection. Any condition that weakens the immune system puts you at greater risk, such as HIV/AIDS and diabetes. If you've recently underdone an organ transplant or chemotherapy you may be at greater risk. While you can get tonsillitis at any age, infection is more frequent in children than adults. If you work with young children you may be at a higher risk.  Tonsillitis is most common in pre-school years to mid-teenage years. One reason for this is the close proximity of school-aged children that leads to the sharing of disease-causing germs. If you work in an elementary or middle school, you are at an increased risk for tonsillitis. Wash your hands frequently during an outbreak and avoid contact with anyone diagnosed for a 24 hour period.

Q: and Mrs. [His First Name Last Name]" for a traditional approach. Although the rules of etiquette are quickly changing, traditionally couples are addressed using the husband's name. For example:  Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gaiman Mr. and Ms. John Steele Mr. and Mrs. Bill Oster If you don't want to write the couple's first names, write their titles and the family name. For example, put Mr. and Ms. Gaiman or Mr. and Mrs. Cameron. If either person or both people are in the military, have a graduate degree, or are members of the clergy, write their title before listing their first or last name. For example, you might write Dr. Matt Rivers and Dr. Megan Merritt. If one of them is clergy, you may list The Reverend and Mrs. Jordan. For military, you could write Lieutenant Beth March and Mr. Greg Wharton. If one of the person's married name is hyphenated, list each person's title and first name.

Article: The Gregg shorthand method is phonetic, so it follows the sound of words, rather than the spelling of words. It uses hooks and circles as symbols for words. Like the Pitman method, it has a separate set of symbols for consonants and vowels. You can find the Gregg shorthand alphabet here: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/shorthand.htm. Each consonant is represented by a hook that is a different shape and length. Some consonants, like “n” or “m,” are straight vertical lines. Other consonants, like “f” or “v,” are more horizontal and curved. Study each consonant to ensure you are writing it correctly. In some cases, multiple consonants are represented with one symbol based on the sound of the word, such as the sound “n-d” in “and” or “m-n” in “men.” The Gregg method uses circles of different sizes to notate the vowel sounds in words. Common vowels like “a” are represented by a large circle, while vowels like “e” are represented by a smaller circle. Make sure you notate vowel sounds correctly with circles, rather than just how the vowel appears written in the word. For example, the vowel sound “oo” is represented by an open circle at the bottom. The vowel sound “ea” is represented by a circle with a dot in the center. Punctuation marks like a period, a question mark, and a hyphen are represented by different symbols in Gregg shorthand. The symbol for the punctuation mark should appear above the bottom line of the page.  For example, a period is represented by a small dash and a question mark is represented by a small “x.” A complete list of shorthand for punctuation marks can be found here: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/shorthand.htm.
