So you could say something like: Do you use any character generation software (e.g. Hero Lab)?

Or you could say something like: Do you use LWD's character generation software (i.e. Hero Lab)?

The method I use to remember the difference is by thinking of "e.g." as "example given", which is actually close to the Latin (i.e. the language from which these abbreviations were derived).

EDIT: OK, I stated an error regarding the usage of i.e. It's not necessarily a single item so much as a finite list. "I like RPGs, i.e. Pathfinder and Shadowrun," means that of all the RPGs, those are the only two you like.

"I like RPGs, e.g. Pathfinder and Shadowrun," means those are just two examples of the RPGs you like, but you do like others as well.

I wonder if the author of survey new these rules.

Of course I mean that in the nicest way possible.

I didn't even know that was your writing. I thought you were quoting the web site. I was offering a general point of education. Also, I figured that you in particular would appreciate the finer points of language syntax.

FWIW, as I was expounding to my aunt recently, I use the same mnemonic for "e.g." and for "i.e", I use "in ehther words" to remember when to use it.

Ah, you are bringing back "fond" memories of law school and law review. Let us also expound upon "cf.", "Accord", "Contra", "See", "Id.", "Supra", and "Infra"!

(Actually, let's not.)

Or, we could leave our dictionaries on the bookshelf, and get back in topic =P

Topic.. ahh... yes, I'll congratulate LWD for getting us one day closer to HLO!

I guess that works =P
