- That is vs. i. e. - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
The actual term i e is an abbreviation of id est in Latin, which literally means "that is" In fact, when I see i e , I cannot help but say "that is" in my head; this helps me distinguish it from e g (exempli gratia, by the way)
- How do you use i. e. in a sentence? - English Language Usage Stack . . .

When a writer uses parentheses to define a phrase or clarify a word in a sentence, is it appropriate also to use i e in the parentheses? That use seems redundant to me
- What are the replacements for i. e. and what are their differences?
2 i e is an abbreviation for the Latin id est, which means 'that (literally, 'it') is' You can use any formulation which says the same thing Personally, I avoid Latin phrases and abbreviations where possible If they disappear from general use, as seems quite likely, I would say good riddance
