Subject:What is the correct usage of "viz" ? From:Justin Moss <Justin_Moss -at- RTA -dot- NSW -dot- GOV -dot- AU> Date:Fri, 5 Dec 1997 16:15:46 +1000
I understand the direct translation of "viz" to be "namely", however, would
some please advise it's correct usage ? (is it "there were four little
pigs, viz, Porky, Snorky, Dorky and Poo" or "there were four little pigs,
viz. Porky, Snorky, Dorky and Poo" or [other])
If replying, please do so to the list and to me directly.
