thanks for pointing it out. I wasn't aware that f.e. is not accepted as standard english abbreviation.

  To be honest, I couldn't tell if it is accepted or not. I think it is, but we simply don't see it that often. As far as I can tell, it is perfectly correct to abbreviate in the english language. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O25-fe.html http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O25-fe.html

    No, f.e. is not an accepted or known abbreviation, it's not perfectly correct. You can try and start one, after all yolo, lol, rotfl. Or perhaps not ;) When I asked, I was wondering if it was a known abbreviation from an academic field I didn't know. I wouldn't use it, e.g. is the correct abbreviation to use in this instance.

    Interesting. Most references that I found say that f.e. is not correct. ;)
