    'Drones' discussion thread (part 2): A Game Changer for Humanity

    I haven't really thought about the difference until now, mainly because I never knew there was one. I always took "i.e." as "for example" in context because I only ever saw that used really when in lecture I was given an example illustrating a new concept I learned. I hardly see "e.g." used as much as I see "i.e." Interested to see if Matt knows the difference.

     

    EDIT: Also I don't really think this is a commonly known thing either at least in America, given half of its youth don't know the difference between "you're" and "your". :facepalm:

     

    Hm, i remember learning in school i.e. Means "for example" ...but my brain might be wrong

    You lot, you all as well as myself are idiots. I just reread Matt's tweet and realized he wasn't trying to announce anything... :noey:

     

    He said "there is a place and time i.e. 9 PM, Belfast, Sunday." in response to a Tweet about Psycho taking forever to be written, and come out as a song.

     

    Literally all he is saying is that there is a time and place for things, events, to happen. A common colloquialism. The "i.e. 9 PM, Belfast, Sunday." is 99% likely to be his sarcastic attempt at being funny, especially given the usage of "i.e." showing it as an example, except everyone thought it was an imminent announcement...

    :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

     

    I stand by this revelation and will eat my asshole 10 times if I am proven wrong.

     

    Bottle of champaigne for you?

    Peter O'Neill, the director of Imagine Belfast, has been contacting fan pages this morning asking for information about Muse's gig on Sunday. Apparently he doesn't know anything about it. He sent me this :

    "There is a lot of social media interest in plans for Muse to apparently play in Belfast this Sunday at our festival. Can you confirm?"

     

    Maybe he wants them to perform there....awesome how rumours work :p
