You people must hate America if you haven't voted yet.You are "in" a state of shock that could result in you "having" an emergency.
Unless you are in a state of emergency that could result in you going "into" shock.
You're welcome.

Had you used protection when you :gossip:, you wouldn't be having this emergency nine months later.

Let's put it in this context:
I am having a baby
I am in a baby
In "I am in an emergency", the word "emergency" should be used as an adjective. It would be correct to add the word "situation". In "having an emergency", it is a noun and is correct alone.
I like grammar nazis. :lol:

You should have said "Boy, I am glad I read all of the way through before posting", or "Boy, am I glad I read all of the way through before posting?".
