Question Posted Friday October 29 2004, 7:29 pm

What does the term i.e. mean? Does it mean something like "For example"? I'm not sure. If you could help me out that'd be great.

it's the short- form way of saying "for example" or "for instance". i think it's based on something latin..

Sorry, but every one of these people is wrong. WTF.

E.G. means "for example" and E.G. is the initials of the latin term exempli gratia.

I.E. stands for "id est" and it means in effect or in other words.

So just remember e.g. is "example given" and i.e. is "in effect".

MFS answered Friday October 29 2004, 7:52 pm:
The Latin abbreviation i.e. stands for "id est", which means "that is", "that is to say", or "in other words". Another one you'll see are the letters e.g., which stand for the Latin phrase "exempli gratia" which translates to "for example".
