    In one of @JimInOz ’s previous posts, he suggested that my rebus puzzles were “arcane”. @JimInOz clearly knows the definition of the word “arcane”! :)

    Now! There is not an EVENT involved in this rebus. An individual is involved, and this is an important day for him? How is it that there can be an important day for him, unless there is an EVENT involved?

    I suppose the event is a birth date. Nov 22 1881, according to Wiki.

    I can’t tell you too much about this individual, or you’ll twig to his identity too easily. I can say this individual was a performer, was American, and is now deceased.

    I’ll give you Jackie Robinson as the answer. Instead or the “eg”, I had intended to use “ie”. My mistake! Jackie Robinson broke the colour barrier, in U S Professional big leagues baseball. He had played baseball in Canada, and his talents were recognized. I met him at the high school I attended, 65 years ago. I got his autograph which I promptly gave to a baseball fan friend. Duh! Our son is a baseball fan, and he couldn’t believe I gave the autograph away!

    I don't have my copy of the Australian Style Guide any more, but I used it often when doing technical reports and one thing I remember is the use of e.g. and i.e., they are not interchangeable according to the ASG.
    I.e. is Latin for id est or 'that is' — and is used to clarify the statement before it, I remember it as "in other words" when applying it.
    E.g., the other Latin contraction means exempli gratia or 'for example.' It's used to introduce examples and illustrate a statement.

    Picky I know, but they are two different kettles of fish.

    I didn't think it'd last too long, may have to make the next one a bit of a challenge ;).
