February 25th, 2009
What do you know, Freddy Duarte blogging about the Engl… Latin idiom.
e.g. = exempli gratia = for the sake of example
i.e. = illud est = that is to say
Example of e.g. : “Electronic EMO/Rock bands suck (e.g. NIN, The Jonas Brothers).
Example of i.e. : “On the other side, bands that carry talented musicians are good for the ear (i.e. MUSE, Metallica, Opeth).
Example of hilarity: “This isn’t a post about music (i.e. anything not NIN).”
