Maybe it is a fool question but why do you always wirte "e.g." if we write "for example"

[Anna.ha]

it's short for `exempli gratia` and is likely to be originated from a Spanish word or Latin word.

It's for quick writing.

oooh I see thanks.

And when you are reading an article, how do you read it? "e.g."

[Cerberus™]

It stands for Latin "exempli gratia" which means "for the sake of example", loosely translated "to give an example". Hence it means the same as "for example". It is usually has a comma before and after: "the Trojan war could have been easily prevented by a Trojan tribute of, e.g., a hundred pounds of silver to the angry Greeks".
