I am trying to hold the line preventing some egregious errors.  It is one thing 
to error in a  quick email where meaning is clear but in a formal presentation 
or medical note using eponyms, proper usage is important.  
Most endocrinology fellows often error in writing Graves' disease.   It is 
named  after the renown Irish physician Robert James Graves: 1796-1853.   I 
have seen it written Grave's disease or slightly less offensive Graves disease. 
Every endocrinology fellows I am involved in training will make that mistake 
but once.  :-)

Doing my part, Mike,  S.A.U.
