i.e. = "id est"
e.g. = "exempli gratia"

But who can remember those stupid Latin phrases? A good mnemonic is to replace them with roughly equivalent English words:

i.e. = "in explanation"
e.g. = "example(s) given"

Or you can just keep mixing them up because you're a chaos goblin. That's cool, too.

Is Moomin still a thing in Scandinavia? I fondly remember reading this book when I was a kid.

+1 one of the few shows I could say we both grown-ups and kids enjoyed.

I guess it makes way more sense to learn a second language starting with its grammar - it would take ages to learn by immersion (as most natives do). So learning differently means = making different mistakes.

It's just that, at the end of the day, people try to materialize in writing whatever they are listening to, but with no clear grammatical rules (and no familiarity due to reading) they just use whatever homophone.

When learning English I first learned about grammar, so I'd never write "I could of".

In English, people write "I could of" but it makes no sense at all if you'd learned at least a bit of grammar and/or read books regularly.

Similarly, in Spanish people wrongly write down "Vamos haber" instead of "Vamos a ver" when again the first construction makes no grammatical sense at all.

Not sure I agree with this (or maybe it's because I'm thinking struggle=failing)
In Spanish as well as in English most errors come from homophones when you just try to write down whatever you *think* you are listening to.
