for example; for instance; including but not limited to Explanation: "For example" and "for instance" should suffice in most contexts. In legalistic jargon, the common expression used is “including but not limited to.” See the following example: http://www.contextmag.com/common/LegalNotice.htm “All content included on this site, including but not limited to, text, graphics and images, is, unless otherwise noted, copyrighted under United States law and protected by worldwide copyright laws and treaty provisions.” A fuller translation, which in most cases would amount to a needless clutter, would be something like: "by way of example, not exhaustive enumeration." Fuad See citation above. |

A case in point Explanation: In addition to Fuad's comprehensive answer, "a case in point" implies that the subsequent example represents one case among several, so depending on the nature of your text, this too may be a nice concise way to render your phrase. Regards, Alaa Zeineldine |

4699 days confidence: 
"just to name a few" , or "to name but a few", or "to name a few" Explanation: Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. Most people, however, think of technology in terms of its artifacts: computers and software, aircraft, pesticides, water-treatment plants, birth-control pills, and microwave ovens, to name a few. But technology is more than these tangible products. |
