A company's website is best viewed in a modern ie.

Definition

Adverb:
- That is to say; in other words: Used to introduce a clarification, explanation, or rephrasing of what has just been stated. It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "id est."
Noun:
- A commercial browser: A proprietary web browser developed by Microsoft, Internet Explorer, commonly abbreviated as IE.

Usage

Adverb: The abbreviation "i.e." is used in writing to specify or explain something more precisely. It is typically followed by a comma and introduces a restatement.
Noun: The term "IE" (often capitalized) is used as a proper noun to refer specifically to the Internet Explorer software.

Examples

Adverb:
- The event is for the founding members, i.e., those who joined in the first year.
- Please bring all necessary items, i.e., your passport, ticket, and confirmation number.
Noun:
- Many older websites were designed specifically for IE.
- The company will no longer support IE after this year.

Advanced Usage

Punctuation with "i.e.": In modern English, it is standard to follow "i.e." with a comma when it introduces an explanatory phrase or clause.
- The meeting is postponed until next week, i.e., Monday the 14th.
Stylistic Note: In formal writing, "i.e." is often set off by parentheses or dashes to integrate the explanation smoothly into a sentence.
- The herbivore (i.e., the plant-eating animal) was grazing quietly.

Variants and Related Words

e.g.: An abbreviation for the Latin "exempli gratia," meaning "for example." It is often confused with "i.e." but serves a different function (introducing examples rather than a clarification).
- Bring writing utensils, e.g., pens and pencils.
viz.: An abbreviation for the Latin "videlicet," meaning "namely" or "that is to say," used similarly to "i.e." but is more formal and less common.
Internet Explorer: The full name for the browser abbreviated as IE.

Synonyms

Related Phrases

i.e., vs. e.g.: A common point of confusion. Remember: "i.e." clarifies ("in other words"), while "e.g." gives examples ("for example").
- We need tools, i.e., items that help us fix things. (Clarification: tools are defined as fixing items.)
- We need tools, e.g., a hammer and screwdriver. (Examples: a hammer and screwdriver are types of tools.)

Notes

The adverbial form "i.e." is traditionally written with periods, though the unpunctuated form "ie" is sometimes seen in informal contexts.
When used as a noun for the browser, "IE" is typically written in uppercase without periods.
