Hamlet...while we're on the subject of 'use of English', in my days as a self-important executive I used to give aspiring assistants a simple test...three things...

a) what is the correct pronunciation of the * symbol
b) what's the difference in usage between i.e. and e.g.
and if they got those correct (hardly anyone ever did!!!)
c) what does e.g. and i.e. stand for in the original Latin

Only one person ever got all of them...LOL
