"I E"
I E by Luke December 9, 2003
An acronym for "in equivalence", often used to mean "in other words" or "that is". However, it must be noted that "i.e." can only be used when writing. Never say "i.e." in a conversation, unless you want to sound like an idiot.

Don't listen to those who claim "i.e." comes from latin: it doesn't, quite obviously.
Here is an example of how "i.e." is used in a sentence, i.e., a demonstration of how "i.e." can be utilized in a sentence.

Instead of the logical definition of I.E. (which is a Latin translation of "That is"), some people decided it would be a great idea to abbreviate the Inland Empire and make it sound cool.
This area is located 37 miles inland in Southern California and has a desert like climate: either very hot or very cold. I don't know of any reason why anyone would want to go there.

There is nothing cool about and it appears to be getting worse. Recently, anyone that can't afford living in Los Angeles moved out to the Inland Empire which includes illegal aliens, and gang members.

Personally, when I hear I.E., I think of Internet Explorer and anyone that uses it to define the Inland Empire has an IQ of 10.
Dude, lets go to the I.E and kick it with the cholos and essays.

Lets buy a house in the I.E. and grow some corn in our back yard like the ranch we had in Mexico.
