I.E., means, "for example" (translated from latin i believe, more old world elitism), which is entirely different than IOW or "in other words". one has to be careful with suck silly acronyms and abbreviations, in fact they often have more than one meaning depending on who you are talking to about what field. then again, to an extent, iow has become or was at once somewhat elitist, that is traditionally one of the reasons for using jargon, to impress and keep out the masses (in addition to the legitimate need for new terms for new things).
