Twin pairs.

السلام عليكم

Good day to all. What a fine day, today. While I was taking a stroll in the Internet, I bumped into a page.  Her name was www.writingforward.com. 

We greeted each other I got to meet her twins; i.e. and e.g. They seems identical but there are huge difference.

i.e. or iillud est or il est means that is.

Next, there's no different between fewer and less right? NO, there is.

FEWER: adjective. Of a smaller number.

• It should be used when the items CAN be counted.
• I have fewer handbags than her.

LESS: adjective. Smaller in size, amount, degree or etc.; not so large, great, or much.

• It is used when the amount of something CANNOT be counted.
• I have less interest in shopping than her.

That's all for now.
