“E.g.” stands for latin “exempli gratia” which is typically read
as “for example” (see [1]).  “E.g.” does not stand for the word
“example”.  As such, “for e.g.” might be read as “for for example”.

Fix this usage by simply replacing “e.g.” with “example”.  There is
enough space to fit the whole word.
