Grammar Post

Something that I have found myself doing for years would be using i.e. and e.g. wrong.
For example, I would say "you can find out what you need to solve your problem by using a search engine (i.e., Google). In an example like that I should have been using (e.g., Google).
i.e. means "that is", e.g. means "for example". Also remember that when you use them you should always follow them both with a comma.
