| Oct 18, 2021 at 19:41 | comment | added | Pierre O | @DanielR.Collins I meant to stay consistent in my writing, if I use it once, I should use it each time, instead of alternating "for example" and "e.g.", or "i.e." and "that is". | |

| Aug 14, 2021 at 3:38 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | What do you mean by, "I feel I should use it all the time"? Like: any place you'd say "for example", use "e.g." instead? Or do you mean something else? | |

| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:54 | comment | added | Pierre O | @JonCuster That was definitely a good one ;) | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:49 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @PierreO - that comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but it does demonstrate how those both break up the flow of sentences. | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:47 | comment | added | Pierre O | @puppetsock in that case, cars would be the subject of a study (or there are academic cars I am not aware of) and not a technique used by academics. In the time, you took writing this comment, I could have gotten an answer. ;) | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:42 | comment | added | puppetsock | @PierreO So are cars, used in academia. But we don't usually answer auto mechanics questions. | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:42 | comment | added | Pierre O | @JonCuster Maybe? Not a native here | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | Pierre O | @puppetsock but as far as I know it is used in academic writing, thus my question in 'Academia' :) | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 17:18 | comment | added | puppetsock | It's not really an academics question, more of a grammar or English usage question. | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 15:17 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Shouldn’t the title be “Overuse of, e.g., i.e.?” | |
