You think a bunch of words can stop me? The only letters I fear are 911
I’m sorry to tell ya this, but those are numbers not letters.
Are these letters or numbers for you?

You are wise in the ways of the secret arts.
Here’s a couple mnemonics to help you remember which one to use:
- i.e. = translate this in your head to “in etherwords”
- e.g. = translate this in your head to “example given”
I just read “e.g.” as “for egxample”, and “i.e.” as “that is”
i.e. as “in effect” is even easier
“Exempli Gratia” literally translates to “Example Given”, so I’d say yes, it does stand for that?
QED
What does that stand for exactly?

Quod Erat Demonstrandum - what has been demonstrated. (Or something like that…my latin sucks) Oversimplification - “I have shown proof of the statements made.”
quod erat demonstrandum, “which was to be demonstrated”. it’s one of the several ways to conclude a formal proof
when i say e.g. I’m actually abbreviating “example given”
Thats the cool thing about language that people dont really seem to understand. Meaning is defined by what we collectively believe, not latin origins.
The meme isn’t about what any schmuck thinks it means. Oh, I’m sorry, the COOL GUIDE.
