Earlier this year I sat in a conference room with Air Force, Navy, Marine service members along with Brits, Canoodlers, Norwegians, Turks, Aussies, Italians, Dutch and Danes. The discussion at one point veered in to whether "i.e" or "e.g" was appropriate. It took about five seconds for the three US military branches to start checking their cell phones for voice mails because we were clearly out of our league. The rest of the world came to the correct conclusion after about five minutes. And I don't remember what was the correct answer.
I'm proud to hear that our armed services are keeping the world safe from grammatical or whatever errors. I will sleep better tonight!
