Shouldn't e.g. just be listed once as exempli gratia (e.g.) instead of having BOTH exempli gratia AND e.g.? This would 1) make it more succinct instead of having two listings for the same phrase, and 2) fit more in line with the style of other such acronyms/abbreviatsions (e.g. i.e. which only has the listing as id est (i.e.)). It just seems rather pointless to have both entries since they mean the same thing (because they are the same thing). Pyrotics ( talk) 17:08, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
("I have lots of favorite colors; i.e., I can't decide on just one").
That's a terrible use of i.e. The second clause isn't explanatory, it is a consequence. Need a better example. Ordinary Person ( talk) 10:28, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
It is said that "alii is actually masculine, so it can be used for men, or groups of men and women;", while Wiktionnary seems to say that alii is only for men (or boys) and that alios is the correct form for a group of men and women. So? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.204.249.182 ( talk) 21:17, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
In Austria there is the Latin Phrase "ex offo" in governmental use, with a meaning close to "ex officio". See also sk:Ex offo, cz:Ex Offo. Can anyone confirm and then add this phrase? -- RScheiber ( talk) 21:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Ex animo should be literally translated as "from my soul". Animo, the second declension dative singular of animus. Heart would be ex corde. JackTheVicar ( talk) 15:22, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey @ Metaknowledge:, how or should Wiktionary be linked to entries in this list? I think this page would be helped by linking Wiktionary. Geographyinitiative ( talk) 01:44, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
is there any consensus, or Wikipedia policy, on the scope of this entry? Should it cover Latin phrases that are still in use (in any language) or just Latin phrases that are still used in English? Or maybe Latin phrases that have been used in English at any point in time? Note that this does make a difference: I recently added the phrase ex abrupto, for instance, but my edit was reverted. The user who made the revert assumed the list would only cover phrases used in English, and ex abrupto doesn't seem to be; but it's definitely used in Italian, and probably in French. — Gennaro Prota •Talk 14:01, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
