i.e or e.g

| What is the difference between "i.e" and "e.g" |
|
|
|
"i.e." is from Latin "id est" meaning "that is". "That is" is used to start an exlanation
or expand on a previous thought.
"e.g." is from Latin "exempli gratia" meaning "for example". This is quite self explanatory. It is common to say "for example" rather than "e.g". "ex." is just an abbreviation of the word "example". |
