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)
punctuation - Should I always use a comma after e. g. or i. e . . . We categorized them into three groups—namely, urban, rural, or mixed A comma is generally required after that is To avoid double punctuation, do not use a comma after i e and e g I am going to go with Oxford’s recommendation of not using a comma after either i e or e g purely for aesthetic reasons
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
punctuation - Correct spelling italicization of e. g. , i. e. ? - English . . . Personally, I would argue that there's no need whatsoever to italicize "e g " or "i e " Both expressions are extremely common in English, and have been for a long time They are full-fledged citizens of the English language, and as such, they do not have to be italicized as if they were foreign words
pronunciation - How to pronounce say the abbreviation i. e. ? - English . . . 3 I know that 'i e ' is an abbreviation of 'that is' But, my question is about pronouncing it perhaps, in normal speech, reading from a piece of text containing the abbreviation, etc In the US, most people (I have interacted with) pronounce 'i e ' by uttering the two letters 'I' and 'E' So, it would sound like 'eye ee'
