  • I get hung up on i.e. vs e.g. I’m not sure this counts as grammar though… I also understand the meaning is not very known so many people confuse the two but I wish it was overall well understood so that the message is very clear.

    E.g. is used when enumerating examples, it doesn’t have to include all possibilities. Like saying “for example…”

    I.e. is to demonstrate exactly what we are talking about. It’s like saying “by that I mean this”.
