[edit] I
I don't yet know the correct way to add references. If someone else wants to fix this before I do, the story about Katie Couric slapping a colleague for saying "sputum" is in this AP article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/09/AR2007070900613.html?nav=rss_artsandliving/entertainmentnews
All references to this should be removed as the article is no longer a valid link.NH
[edit] Languagues?
I'm sure there are other languages of this article, for example, Chinese... http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%97%B0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.77.166.224 (talk) 09:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stub
I agree that this article is a stub. How can experts be drawn here to edit this page? ReasonableLogicalMan(Talk 19:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Other
Could this be improved by adding photos, (yes,yes 'icky') I ask because I have bronchitis at least a couple of times a year, and am fortunate enough to have miserable allergies while living in a desert climate-plenty of opportunties to catch the perfect shot. Also, should the phenomena of different infectious organisms causing different colors be added; and should this have a link to 'biofilm'? If these were troll-like comments-I apologize.

[edit] Contradictory information
I was directed here from the article on "Phlegm." That article states that sputum is phlegm that has been expectorated, and also that mucus and phlegm are not the same thing. This article begins by stating that sputum is mucus. There is a contradiction here. 167.206.122.66 (talk) 21:52, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
