I.E is a short version for Internet Explorer. A easy-to-use microsoft tool. It browses the web, with maximum security, and operating tools, such as view source ECT.
From the time i am writing this, the latest version is I.E 7, there is no difference from the outside, but there is in the inside (which u cant see or notice at that)
I use the latest version of I.E to browse the web quicker, and safer.

I.e by anonymous January 4, 2023
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.
i.e. by EpicScientician December 6, 2021
abbreviation for "id est," Latin for "that is"; also means, "in other words." it is followed by an explanation, specific list or a paraphrase.

compare with e.g.

also reference: www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/061801.htm, another comparison of i.e. and e.g.
i like music (i.e., the ordering of tones or sounds to produce rhythm, melody and/or harmony.)
i.e. by ambercat May 8, 2005
Abbreviation used to clarify something, to narrow something, or to specificate. This form is used ONLY in writing, this is too strange in speaking.

I E stands for the "Inland Empire", an area in Southern California that cover numerous cities, as well as counties that span from approximately 40 miles inland from the west coast to the San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The Pomona Valley, although in Los Angeles county, is also included.
I live in Rialto; I'm from the I E.
I E by MsVette February 20, 2008
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.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
