i.e.

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.
