Stephen LopezI.e. vs E.g.
These are not interchangeable!
- I.e. should precede a listing of all referred-to items.
- E.g. should precede a listing of example items.
The way I remember it is:
- i.e. - “is everything”
- e.g. - sounds like example: “eggsample”
I love They Might Be Giants (i.e., John and John).
I love the music TMBG makes (e.g., Particle Man, Cowtown, Till My Head Falls Off).
