# abbreviation-punctuation (UNS009) ## What it does Checks that these abbreviations use the correct punctuation: `i.e.`, `e.g.`, and `et al.`. A comma after `i.e.` or `e.g.` is not required by this rule. ## Why is this bad? These are misspellings. ## Example ```latex The abbreviation ie is incorrect. The abbreviation i.e. is correct. The authors et. al. are listed. The authors et al. are listed. ```
