Common errors with AM/PM notation: - Avoid writing "12:00 PM" as it implies midnight rather than noon. Instead write "12 noon" or "12 midnight". - In formal writing, capitalize AM and PM in the US, while lowercase is standard in the UK. - The differences between i.e. and e.g. are that i.e. means "that is" and is used to restate or define something previously stated, while e.g. means "for example" and is used to provide examples.

1. Common writing errors: AM / PM
Usage of AM/PM notation has largely been replaced by the 24-hour notation
around the world, but especially in written communication, the 12-hour notation
with AM and PM suffixes is common in some parts of the world – be aware to
avoid writing errors.
In latin AM stands “Ante Meridiem” which means “before noon or midday” and
PM means “Post Meridiem” or “after noon”.
You should although avoid the expression “12:00 PM” not only because it is
incorrect, but because many people will imagine you are talking about midnight.
The same goes for “12:00 AM” instead you should – to avoid confusion –
correctly say 12 noon or 12 midnight to make a corrdct designation.
In the US, in formal writing it is still preferable to capitalize AM or PM, though
the lower-case “am” and “pm” are now so popular they are not likely to get you
into trouble. The lower-case forms are standard usage in the UK.

2. What’s the difference between i.e. and e.g.?
Unless you have studied Latin or studied the English language in depth, it might
be a surprise for you to learn that the abbreviations i.e. and e.g. actually mean
different things. e.g. means “for example” and is derived from the Latin “exempli
gratia” i.e. means “that is” and is derived from the Latin “id est”
Terms of usage with some examples:
i.e. There are 6 cars in the parking lot, i.e. Buick, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW,
Jaguar and Subaru. (a complete list of the colors)
e.g. There are 6 cars in the parking lot, e.g. Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar. (an
incomplete list of the colors)
Use i.e. when you are stating the 6 cars in another way; Use e.g. when you are
giving examples of them.
i.e. He had to deliver ASAP, i.e. As Soon As Possible
e.g. Acronyms are words where each letter stands for a word, e.g. ASAP which
means “As Soon As Possible”. Use i.e. when you are explaining the definition;
Use e.g. when giving an example.

Their is a possessive pronoun. It has “heir” in it. If Bob and Jim are heirs
according to [statute/statue] then the money is theirs. They’re is the contraction
of “they are.”
Their is the possessive – things that belong to them or that they have. Their
hats are on their heads. (They own hats and they have heads – which is a good
thing, otherwise the hats would have been a waste of money.) It is their
intention to get to class on time. (They have an intention, and it includes getting
up when the alarm rings. They may not pull it off, but they mean well.)
There answers the question “where?” It refers to place (I live there) and
direction (I’m going there). There is also used with the verb “to be” (wasn’t I just
there?), as in: there is very little time; there are several options; there be whales
here (Okay, nobody says that last one any more).
There can be used to express satisfaction (There! I finished it.); or dismay
(There! Now you’ve done it!); or sympathy (There, there. It’s all going to be
okay.) And that’s where we came in…
