Down syndrome Awareness Month

While most people know October as Breast Cancer Awareness month, it is also Down syndrome Awareness month!

I thought this link was helpful in knowing some Down syndrome facts. One point to note: in the US we use “Down syndrome,” while in the UK and Australia [maybe other countries?] they use the term “Down’s.” The community in the US does not prefer “Down’s” because Dr. Down did not possess the syndrome.

There’s your grammar lesson for the day : )
