Id Est Versus Exempli Gratia

I.E. VS. E.G.

Do you know when to use i.e. and when to use e.g.? This is a quick look at the difference between the two latin expressions plus a quick grammar tip for their use.

Some writers mistake e.g. as "ergo" which means "therefore" which makes for one confusing sentence!
