- E.g. = exempli gratia = for example
- I.e. = id est = that is
- Cf. = confer = compare with
- Etc. = et cetera = and so on
- Well... et cetera.
Moreover, we should use al of these abbreviation only within parentheses (and footnotes maybe). Except for et al. (et alii), which is used all over the place. And mind you, when you use these abbreviations, there is no need to italicize!
