The dictionary is a handy tool for the non-Latin student. EX GRATIA means "for example" If there is more than one example sometimes they will put "e.gg." ID EST means "it (that) is" and we use it to introduce an equivalent word or short explanation. It is not usually thought proper to use this term in the plural. I must admit that I often find myself translating them into English to keep them separate.

Folks,
Could someone help me sort out the difference between "e.g." and "i.e."?
One is for objects, and the other is for people, right?
