Thanks for posting this, as the terms are often confused.

I always think of i.e. as replacing "that is to say"; and e.g. as meaning "for example".

It's important that we freepers use well grammar.

“Thanks for posting this, as the terms are often confused.”

Never use a semi-colon when a comma can do.

Never use a comma when it is not needed.

That is grammatically incorrect. It should read "It's important that US freepers use grammar GOODLY."
