Treehugger Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I doubt it. ie basically means 'for example'. That'd be "eg." "i.e." is id est or "that is" in Latin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 That'd be "eg." "i.e." is id est or "that is" in Latin. should I have highlighted the word basically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a lesson in proper citation. We faculty types have to be more precise in these matters as Master Treehugger indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Can one of the mods change his user name from Badd Egg to Huge Pussy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 should I have highlighted the word basically? The former indicates there are several options while the later implies there is a specific match. No "basically" about it; they're two very different things. My next point of business as self-appointed defender of the Queen's English from American bastardisation is to remove the tongues of all the sports announcers I can find?

I 'basically' already admitted I fucked it up. Thanks anyway. Have you checked the politics section lately? There's enough English error there to keep you busy for months. Have fun.
