2024 Presidential Race

A lot of us take breaks. No biggie.

I think it is a good reminder than none of us should take exchanges here personally or seriously. In fact, BB posted a few days ago something very perceptive...most of us in the PF are bored and waiting for football season.
Breaks are good for the brain.
 
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I'm not sure I could tell you the difference in those 2 things. I know I could google, but don't feel like it. When is it appropriate to use each of those?
This simplifies it:
For i.e. ("id est"), substitute "in other words" or "to clarify."

For e.g. ("exempli gratia"), substitute "for example."

Then you will know which one is appropriate.

IE - in other words
EG - for example

People use “ie” all the time when they should be using “eg”

Dang, if I've crossed paths with 85SugarVol anywhere, I think I'm guilty of grinding his gears...

I was only ever smart enough for pig latin, (i.e. not the real thing). Is that right??
 
Black Americans risk being shunned by their communities if they do not fall in line and vote for Kamala Harris, Joy Reid has warned her followers.

In an apparent bid to shame support for the vice president and away from Donald Trump, the firebrand MSNBC host warned black voters they were going to look 'real weird and real lonely' if they do not back the 'woman of color extraordinaire' in November's presidential election.

No! Only partially correct.

Tomorrow we review punctuation, and I suggest you f’n study.

This ain’t your Grandaddy Earl’s school for Rubes….
