There are two other Latin abbreviations in common usage that are often misused: 1) e.g. - exampli gratia - for example 2) i.e. - id est - that is Too often, I see "i.e." when "e.g." is correct. "i.e." is used to reword or explain, while "e.g." gives a sample. However, when the sample is the only choice, "i.e." is correct. The following statements illustrate this. As most MV programmers know, it is important to choose an appropriate modulo (i.e., a prime number) for file sizing, but using an excessively large value on a dictionary (e.g., 10,007) is probably not a good idea.
