Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE This is really a grammatical issue. In many cases, you should put a comma after "e.g.". For example, your sentence could be "In a sentence, e.g., this one, 'this' is reported ...".
Another example: "The political parties are at it again; e.g., the conservatives say "bla bla bla" and the liberals say "Bla Bla Bla". Commas are "half stops" and indicate a slight pause when speaking. One way of checking for comma placement is to say the sentence out loud and notice where the slight pauses occur. A grammar book, whose title I've forgotten, suggests punctuation is the notation for how to "sing a sentence"; an interesting insight, I thought. You may also use a colon to introduce a list; e.g.: - a jug of wine, - a loaf of bread, and - thou.

However there's a tiny problem bugging me: In a sentence, e.g. like this one, the 'like' word would be reported as misspelled because it follows a full stop. Of course I can choose to ignore capitalising and only check this in a session once I'm done but is there another possibility to get rid of these marks?
