       @grammargirl One shorthand that I'm going to adopt is “ɔ:” for “i.e.” or “that is”. It was used a lot in Scandinavian science litterature in the 19th and 20th centuries, but it seems to have fallen out of favour with the advent of electronic typesetting, where it wasn't as easy to turn a c upside down (but now it exists in Unicode)
