How is influenza typically transmitted?

I need to know how influenza is typically transmitted. Please help!

Influenza is an airborne transmission. Someone coughing, sneezing on you. They cough into their hand and shake yours, you then rub or wipe you nose/mouth and you got it. Just think of all the kids that put their mouth on the carts/buggys at the grocery store, then you touch it. Ough!!!

It's the worst, you can get it any way shape or form, including airborne
