From b235936a1d5f436d1427883ae89a308c6810e31b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Momjian Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 18:33:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: add commas after 'i.e.' and 'e.g.' This follows the American format, https://jakubmarian.com/comma-after-i-e-and-e-g/. There is no intention of requiring this format for future text, but making existing text consistent every few years makes sense.
