The resultant confusion from such communication innovations may be justifiable in service to a larger goal, e.g. making a clean cultural break from ancient lion-torturing Latin speakers. Be the change you want to see. Et cetera, et alii.

I hope someday we start using fx in the same places we use ie or eg. EDIT: My beautiful Finnish wife informs me t.ex. is also used in Swedish in a very similar way, till exempel or something like that. So maybe it's a Northern European thing too?
