Can one really be "in" an emergency?

My vote is for "having".

 

[Toxick]

Shocked!

Yes, SHOCKED am I that there's such little interest and participation in a tread of such vital import.

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.

Let's put it in this context:

I am having a baby

I am in a baby

 

[Rael]

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.

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?".
