ie (see also eg)<br />
The abbreviation ie comes from the Latin id est meaning that is. As with eg, no full<br />
stop is necessary. Use a comma before ie but try to avoid using it if possible. Do<br />
not use ie when you should use eg.<br />
Initials<br />
Do not add punctuation to the initials of names, such as JK Rowling, WH Smith.<br />
‘ise’<br />
Use ‘ise’ rather than ‘ize’ at the end of a word (except capsize and size).<br />
Italics<br />
The following are generally italicised: titles of books, periodicals, TV programmes,<br />
films, plays, operas, song titles, names of ships and aircraft. Also italicise foreign<br />
(including Latin) phrases not yet naturalised and scientific names of plants and<br />
animals.<br />
Do not use italics to add emphasis. Do not italicise titles of chapters, articles, or<br />
sections, which take single quotes. (For details of the use of italics in referencing<br />
using the Harvard System see the Guide to Referencing Using the Harvard System<br />
on the Bucks website at bucks.ac.uk/referencing).<br />
