T&G in the plywood industry stands for Type and Grade. There are three Types (Technical, Type I, Type II) used for different purposes based mostly on glue moisture resistance. Type I is used for most residential exposed (even for a little while) plywood. Type II shouldn't be used for outdoor work. Grades go from A to E, and just like school, A's are better. There are some specialty grades (S) and inner core grades also. Check out http://hardwoods-inc.com for details.
Oh, and the "Tongue and Groove" answers are correct too, but only within the trades. When I ordered floor decking plywood, I specified 3/4 inch T&G, Type 1, Exterior 1. That gave me a good quality subfloor that could be exposed to rain while I was still building, but wasn't supposed to be permanently waterproof, which would have cost more.

This stands for tongue and groove. It makes the sheets fit together so you don't have an unsupported edge of each sheet of plywood in a floor for instance.

t and g stands for type and grade
if you are doing a remodel job and dont want the plywood to warp or curve do NOT go with cheap low grade plywood..the higher the g is higher and better wood
most plywoods start with soft woods and go up...so depending on the job and the conditions in your town, ask the dealer (whomever you are buying the plywood from for a suggestion)
lowes and home depot are great about helping out but most local stores are a little more expensive but are usually friendly
oh t, thats type..like ash (very soft wood) never use on molding..ahahhahah
hope this helped

T&G stands for tongue and groove. It is used for flooring to strenghten the floor and eliminate squeaks.
