How about when you ask 3 questions but they only answer 1? That's on my list for sure. Of your 2, k.
FA1, e.g. is for a list of examples, where as i.e. means in other words. People use i.e. thinking it means in example, but they are Latin abbreviations. Doesn't bother me though. I only know because my mom was an English teacher.

Omg I am guilty I didn't know the difference. And FA2 that is my pet peeve too. It's like don't you have the attention span to answer more than the last part of the message?? 😂

I'm especially interested in female FAs.
