James is absolutely correct. The proper way of phrasing an abbreviation is to phrase it as if you were saying the full version. Hence the correct statement is "I'm going to the IRI." Now, over the years people have come to take IRI as its own proper noun, as opposed to an acronym; and hence been phrasing it as such ("I'm going to IRI"). Although this has become accepted within the FIRST community, it doesn't make it correct.
