An I for I, as well. Sometimes bad grammar is worth a bad joke, and sometimes it's not...

Embryologic foregut? Is that a googlewhack?

EDIT: No! 146 results returned - I stand corrected! I've just never had occasion to parlay that into my daily speech, I guess...

Sorely tempted by E, but I think it sounds more like I.

OK tsuwm...geez! You over promoted this Hogwash Redux and so now we've got too many definitions to consider and now you want to hurry us up.

All I ask is that you give us a high noon tomorrow deadline, and you know darn well that I'd do the same for you if you were lying in some strange gutter confused and perplexed.

Gee whiz!
