I’d hazard most people like talking to other people. Even most introverts, although the threshold for how much is enough or too much is lower.

A few hours. For me home is always a few things: my current residence, the place I grew up, and any place I slept last night that I’ll sleep again tonight.

They don’t all mean the same thing, but let’s go home could mean any of those.

Exactly. If you’ve got a head for remembering Latin, i.e. is id est, so you can try swapping “that is” into the sentence to see if it sounds right.

E.g. is exempli gratia so you can try swapping “for example” in for the same trick.

If you forget, avoiding the abbreviations is fine in most contexts. That said, I’d be surprised if mixing them up makes any given sentence less clear.

I.e. is used to restate for clarification. It doesn’t really relate to the other two, and should not be used when multiple examples are listed or could be listed.

E.g. and ex. are both used to start a list of examples. They’re largely equivalent, but should not be mixed. If your organization has a style guide consult that to check which to use. If it doesn’t, check the document and/or similar documents to see if one is already in use, and continue to use that. If no prior use of either is found, e.g. is more common.

Maybe function first helps with cosplaying as rural. People get very up in arms about frame type. The twice yearly sedanfull of potting soil is incredibly serious.

Slightly different, but I’ve had people insist on slop.

A higher up at work asked the difference between i.e. e.g. and ex. I answered, they weren’t satisfied and made their assistant ask the large language model. Their assistant reads the reply out loud and it’s near verbatim to what I just told them. Ugh

This is not the only time this has happened
