When people use the word "ergo"...why?  Just say 'therefore' or 'hence' like all the rest of us.  You have no idea how much this twists my panties when I hear some dumb mother trucker use the word, like it somehow distracts from his or her real stupidity.  Stupidity in general has really been pissing me off lately...I can't escape from it, makes me feel like Smith from The Matrix.  I feel like however much I hate him I still share the same loathing feelings as he does for the human race.  Ok so, maybe i'm over dramatizing...i'm a leo, drama is always excused.  I need a cigarette and I don't even smoke.

I think I like ergo.  I also like I.E.


  Thems some fancy talking.

What exactly does I.E. stand for?

Could you please edumacate me?

i.e. stands for the Latin id est, which means "that is." Conversely, e.g. stands for exempli gratia, which means "for example."

thanks for providing the two things i learned today  :D

man does it chap sonja's hide when people use "i.e." when the mean "e.g." or is it vice versa?

I hate when they mess it up either way. I hate it even more when they speak i.e. or e.g. outloud.

Grrrrrrr......grammar makes me mean.

 :twisted:

can you use each correctly in a sentence for us please? i think i'm still confused.

There are many things you can do to help yourself learn, e.g., look up definitions on your own, you lazy ass. Sonja is gracious, kind and giving, i.e., a nice person.

Now shut up.

 :twisted:

You done writed a mess of fancy learning letters.

expertly done on the ie/eg example there gelfling.

snizz is a dumbass, i.e. a total nard-sucker. he does a lot of dumb things, e.g. getting drunk and passing out with a chew in.
