| I don't think that's really clear. I think we could both defer to the OP clarifying. For pedantry's sake: neither i.e. nor e.g. would be correct here. You want cf. ("conferatur") to invite a comparison; e.g. is when an example pertains to an instance. In this case uv would not pertain to the instance, because Astro is not Astral. |

| ▲ | rdiddly 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | "e.g." IS correct because uv is an example or instance of a dev tool. | |

| ▲ | woodruffw 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | I agree! That's why I think it's probably just a confusion between entities. It doesn't make sense either as example or as a comparison (although IMO it makes more sense as the latter). (For the OP: I'm sorry if I misinterpreted you.) | | |
| ▲ | arjie 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's all good. Hardly matters. It was just becoming too big a discussion for something far too minor. Any frustration I had from being misunderstood (primarily self-directed) was alleviated from satvikpendem guessing correctly what I intended. |

| For the perplex: e.g. is latin for "exempli gratia" = for example
i.e. is latin for "id est" = that is |

| ▲ | spondyl 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | As someone who was perplexed, I've only heard perplex used in past tense (I was perplexed) so seeing "For the perplex" just made me confused as to what "perplex" meant and I had to do a further search to decipher this tree of comments haha | |

| I'm not sure. I wouldn't generally call Astro a "dev tool". It's more of a framework. It's possible you are right, but it isn't clear from the content of the comment. |

| ▲ | Jenk 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | Frameworks are a category of development tool. Things that developers utilitise to be productive. | | |
| ▲ | thayne 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | IMO saying a framework is a dev tool is like saying a cake mix is a cooking tool, because it allows you to be more productive when making a cake. Sure, if you look at it a certain way, it is correct. But that isn't the way the term is usually used. | |
