Do You Know The Full Meaning Of “e.g” And “i.e.”? by lekkyy: 9:04pm On Mar 12

I got to know that e.g. stands for “exempli gratia,” meaning “for example,” and is used to provide specific examples that fall under a more general category.

i.e. stands for “id est,” meaning “that is,” and is used to clarify or rephrase a statement to make it more precise or specific.

Now you know.

All my CoRn disciples already know all these undecided

we drill it into them during indoctrination cool

That's why we used to use places like america as examples of our failures

And use statements like Peter Obi is a gbajue man, iessence, a failure tongue

It doesn't matter if we are hungry while chanting it, we go manage undecided

The following also apply.

e.g. = example given
i.e. = in essence
