My favorite use of "e.g." is in the movie Get Shorty where Ray Bones mistakenly uses "i.e." to mean "for example". Anybody else remember that scene in the barber shop? Hysterical. Really.

Is the correct puncuation:
e.g. and i.e. or eg, and ie, ?

Technically, it should take the "dots". But after the American Society of English Teachers started allowing "their" as a singular, I quit listening to them, and I have no idea what they require now in the way of punctuation.
