i.e. = id est = that is = c'est à dire
e.g. = exemple gratia (or something like that) = for example = par exemple

Petite remarque
improductive n'existe pas, c'est unproductive. La réponse peut-être inefficient....

but
5- IGUANA-IGUANA-IGUANA-IGUANA-IGUANA-......
( spinytail iguana = iguane à queue épineuse- keeltail iguana =iguane à queue carénée...=> they give me nightmares!
And now, I ask an Injection to be Immunized
Please, Nurse, no Insuline!It's absolutly Inefficient! It would Increase my Inanity and my Ignorance.
I can't wait to do the 'J'-words exercise, marit!

Hi everybody!
Jardin: your answer was very funny. You have a good sense of humour. I appreciate it. I'm sure you'll remember all your life the difference between "immunize" and "insuline".
Now, could you tell me how to write "iguane" in English?
Seriously, here are the answers:
1- ivory 2- icing 3- instance 4- immunize or inoculate 5- iguana
6- invertebrate 7- inhabitant 8- inefficient or ineffective or inefficacious or idle 9- improve 10- inky or inkstained.
Thanks a lot for your participation.
So long,
