Oh, well! I always thought that "i.e." meant "in example" coming from Latin. No one in college ever said anything about it, not even literature or history professors when writing essays. So, I'm in awe now! I wonder how many hundreds of language mistakes have fallen through the cracks of upper level education! Thanks for the clarifications!
Yep. Hey, English learners on this thread! Native English speakers can't tell the difference. It's just a few pedants who will notice at all. You can ignore them - most of the time 😉.
I did a test online specifically for people with English as their first language. I got bored and scrolled through most of the language understanding exercise tests, because I'm ADHD. My results were smack in the median results.
But surely, when speaking or reading, you don't say e.g. or i.e. or etc. but say the proper words, for example, that is and etcetera. At least, that's what I was taught.
Here’s how I learned and remembered it: “i.e.” is from latin “id est”, meaning “that is”; “e.g.” is the abbreviation for “example given”, or more colloquially “for example”.
Before i thought english was boring to learn until i came and saw English with lucy by the way i love all you videos i hope you accomplish all you dreams in the future or now
I read somewhere, "i.e" stands for "in essence" and "e.g" stands for "example given". While writing in English, there is no abbreviation for "that is" and "for example", is that correct?
I've never used these abbreviations incorrectly. First of all, I've never used e.g. at all, and you know it's impossible to use something incorrectly if you don't use it. And second of all, in my native language we have t.e. (to est, literally meaning "that is"), so it's basically the same thing as i.e.
In the beginning there was darkness… i.e. I didn’t understand the difference between the two. Then I actually looked it up and never again did I mix them up with each other
This one i already knew about but still I deeply appreciate your hardwork to improve our vocabulary using short videos great love and support from India
Can you please tell me which English accent is most popular and famous in the world thank you 🤗 and one more thing can you tell me Which accent is more used in the world.
So, you mean, I should pronounce them [ai i] and [i ji] instead of "that is" and "for example? Cause, I've been taught that I must say 'for example' if it's e.g. I mean, I don't say [I ji], but I read it "for example".
Pet peeve: Reading .i.e. phonetically "EYE EE". Saying "that is" literally takes the same time. Also pet peeve: Lucy being condescending by assuming we make those mistakes.
