Ever wonder what E.g. and I.e. stand for?
It trickles my curiosity bone, so I googled it up.
e.g. = exempli gratia ( Latin , ya..see the italic..they always use italic for Latin)
i.e. = id est ( also Latin)
..my curiosity expands..
B.C. is before Christ....A.D. ? its anno domino means the Year of the Lord. B.C.E. ( Before Common Era ) and C.E. ( Common Era ) meant the same respectively.
And...anymore..yes..
a.m. means ante meridien (before noon) and p.m. means post meridien ( after noon )
feeling satisfaction to know what has been abbrevating out daily usage of words.
