Analysis on the usage of "such as, for example, e.g., I. e., Etc., et al ."

During editing and processing of English papers, such as, for example, e. g., I. e., etc. And et al. Errors and obfuscation are often encountered. Here, we will give an example to analyze the meanings of these words and describe their correct usage.

 

1)Such.Examples of similar people or things are often listed.

The typical expression is a plural + such as + single instance (s) of the group to which the plural refers.

The correct use is: The Arts Faculty deals only with humanities subjects such as history and literature.

Obfuscation: the Science Faculty deals only with the measurable such as physics and seismology.

Such as is often used with and so on or etc. is incorrect in this paper.

① If it is noted that the features such as clean cut ratio denotedRC, die roll height denotedHDr and die roll width denotedWDr, and so on (some may have etc.), are better than the ones with the other models.

Should be it is noted that the features, such as clean cut ratio denotedRC, die roll height denotedHDr and die roll width denotedWDr, are better than the ones with the other models.

When using such as, the reader understands that the subsequent examples are incomplete examples, so you do not need to add and so on or etc.

② Because such as is used to list the plural nouns in the previous section. If all the nouns are listed, use namely instead, which means "that ". The he knows four ages, such as Chinese, English, Japanese and German in the article should be changed to namely (or I. E .) and add a comma, that is, he knows four ages, namely, Chinese, English, Japanese and German.

③ Using such as to describe the plural can be placed in the middle of such and as. It is usually inserted between the listed things and the previous nouns.

 

2)For example. It is used as an example to introduce general concepts. The scope of use is more free than such. It can appear at the beginning of a sentence, at the end of a sentence, or sometimes as an independent language. It is inserted into a sentence without affecting the Syntactic Relationship of other parts of the sentence.

For example, cryptography operations, for example, decryption or signing, in a given period only involve the corresponding Temporary secret key without further access to the helper.

Similarly, for example (E. G .) A few general examples are not included in all instances, including "etc". If you add etc. or and so on.

As shown in the paper, this sentence is inappropriate: Writing instructors focus on a number of complex skills that require extensive practice (E. G ., organization, clear expression, logical thinking, etc. correct is E. G ., organization, clear expression, and logical thinking.

 

3)E. g.. It is short for the Latin Exempli gratia, which means "for example". It is equivalent to "for example". The purpose is to give an example to illustrate the previous point of view. Its usage is the same as for example.

 

4)I. e..Originated from Latin, it is a simple form of id est. It means that "That is to say, in other words", which is equivalent to "that is, in other words" and "namely", is used to further explain the above points.

Use a comma to enclose (I. E ., both before and after) the year in a month day year sequence. the evaluation noted that the employee had frequently exhibited irresponsible behavior (I. E ., coming to work late, failing to complete projects), you should use "E. g. "instead of" I. e. ", because the inserted sentence is a supplement to the list of" irresponsible behavior.

 

5) etc.. It is the abbreviation of et ceon, which means "wait", which is equivalent to "and so on ". It can be used to list objects. To list objects, you must use et al or and others.

 

6) et al.. It is short for Chinese characters. One is et alibi (and other places), which is equivalent to and elsewhere; the other is et alii (and others), which is equivalent to and others.
