How to use Latin in our language

Posted on 10 November 2008 by Christine B.

Today BloggingTips.com published a great guide to commonly used abbreviations in the English language. Funny enough, they are all actually derived from Latin. Having studied Latin for five years, it was nice to read some of these expressions again. Particularly the ones I don’t use, or don’t use very often.

Maybe it’s time for me to revisit some Latin texts again, just for fun. In the mean time, for anyone who is interested in the correct uses of “i.e.” and “e.g.”, I highly recommend this list.
