That's another one of mine, and another that I see being done wrong more than right. I think this is a legitimate gripe because if people don't know what i.e. and e.g. mean, why are they using them in the first place? Just use the English. I would not write something if I didn't know what it meant.
I was being facetious when I said matter-of-factly that "here, here" doesn't make any sense, but like with i.e. and e.g., I wouldn't write something if I wasn't sure I knew what it meant. So there are a lot of people out there who either think they know more than they do or don't care that they don't know. I suspect the latter.
