hi i.e. The term i.e. means "id est" in Latin or "that is" in English. A trick that I use: If you can replace "i.e." with "in other words" then you are using it correctly. "I.e." is used to specify what your are trying to convey. see the following actical about the i.e vs e.g http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/abbreviations/f/ievseg.htm
