Two things. If you're going to use "i.e.," then you need to put it, and the following sentence or phrase, in parentheses.

Secondly, "i.e." basically means "in other words," so if you're using it, the following sentence should basically be a definition of what it's in reference to. For example: last week I was viciously attacked, and almost killed, by a Chorthippus brunneus (i.e. a common field grasshopper).

You're looking for "e.g.," which is a list of examples. This should help you out.

Been in terrible pain since Saturday. I'm not supposed to be in pain two weeks after a surgery. I haven't stopped bleeding since the surgery either. I think it could be a period but I had one only two weeks ago. Bleeding has increased. Couldn't afford to see doctor until pay day tomorrow. Can't wait to get some pain relief.

Them - "Hey, what other bands do you like?"

Me - "Well, I also like the Bangles..."

Them - "Oh, I know them! 'We've got the beat, we've got the beat, we've got the beat...' :band:"

Me - No. Fuck the Go Gos. Also...

Dude, what the hell DwnWthVwls? Didn't you know that posting big pictures is my thing? Go copyright something else that's incredibly broad, like, say, washed-out colored pictures of dour women. I'm sure nobody on a forum, especially one with a sub-forum for avant-garde music, has ever used those before.

So am I the only one who is underwhelmed by Ori's new avatar? I mean, it's not as horrendous as his other ones, but it's still not much more than a 6/10.

Fucking hell. The one time I try to be nice, and you're in too much of a good mood to care either way. :laughing:

I've got an error sitting right now in a thread. I used spurned where I should have used spurred. But I'm just going to leave it, and that's that.

You can use your Americanized BS all you want, but if you're adding a comma to something in quotation marks, then you should leave the comma outside the marks, since it is not a part of the quote.

Also, my faux pas was far less egregious than yours.

You know, I was thinking that too. "Chula's not mad at us posting that picture again? Must be some good grass." :laughing:

@Troll - What are the first two words of the poster? Not sure what you're getting at with it.
