            Bug ID: 14035
           Summary: writing e.g. not i.e. in a dialog
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com
        QA Contact: nick at xfce.org
                CC: benny at xfce.org, hjudt at xfce.org
  Target Milestone: 1.8.0

I only just found out that this is or was in a dialog in Thunar. If there is a
newer version of Thunar, I cannot test if this bug is still in it.

The abbreviation "i.e." is wrong in context. It means '_id est_' or 'in other
words', so that "the management of . . . media" is only about "how cameras
should be handled", when it's really about much more. It should be replaced
with "e.g.," (including the comma), because "e.g." means '_exempli gratia_' or
'for example'.

This was found on AMD hardware running Linux, in IceWM desktop > SUSE >
Utilities > Desktop > File Manager > File Manager Preferences > Advanced >
Volume Management.
