Just a quick note about these two latin abbreviations commonly mixed up…
i.e.: “id est,” or “that is.” Use like “in other words.”
e.g.: “exempli gratia,” or “for the sake of an example.” Use like “for example.”
Yeah. So, never say something like…
Anybody can write a simple program, i.e. a “Hello World” app.
[whisper]Actually, that example sucks, but you get the point.[/whisper]
wtf?
:lol:
i think that tip is useful, thanks nokrev. 
I’ll sleep easier tonight knowing that. Thanks Nokrev
huh :?
random but hear hear
Go take a shower nokrev!
^:D
Thanks that info might be usefull, hehehe…
My whole freaking life I had no idea what these freakin’ things meant. Thank you so much. OMG
I hate it when my teachers would put that crap on the darn ESSAY PROMPT and I had no idea what the heak it meant and I was too embarrassed to ask because everyone else already knew.
I am 100% serious.
Thank you so much.
lmao
Another one…
n.b.: “nota bene,” or “note well.” Use like “pay attention to this.”
now that one I didn’t know about. I always just wrote “note”.
Jumping on the “my life is thoroughly improved now” bandwagon.
Here’s a fun one that I use a lot because I’m pretentious –
q.e.d.: “quod erat demonstrandum,” or “which was to be demonstrated.” Use at the end of mathematical proofs, or to sound cool when you’ve laid out a bunch of evidence and basically won an argument. :]
And to think, I always thought IE stood for Internet Explorer :lol:
No, IE stands for Internet Explorer, i.e. stands for id est. 
Dude! Seriously! Go take a shower!
Can anyone guess what y.h.b.p means?
h.h.i.b.p. 
Oh, I just took a shower! I still haven’t put clothes on yet.
^That was a disturbing fact! 
Y.H.B.P. anyone???
Now, my friend, y.h.b.p.
You have been pwned, I’m guessing.
