I have a very long memory.

I will remember you.

Similar to caveats by Fowler. Who also says if you’re going to show off and use a foreign language, you’d better use it right.

Also, Anglo-Saxon words have more punch than latinate words. They have to be used by ear, but never, never change an Anglo-Saxon word to a latinate one without good reason.

I will remember you.

I am honored. Yet, a great many Freepers do remember me...having been here for over 17 years.

Will this be on the final?

The Designated Decoy.

I.e. stands for “id est,” which means “in other words.”

Actually 'id est' means 'that is.'

It's similar in meaning to 'in other words', except that, literally, it means 'that is'.

Alas, this reminds me of Latin with Mr. Bernaur, translating Marshal epigrams, and my favorite one:

Linus, You ask me how my farm can pay,
Since little it will bear;

It pays me thus. — ’Tis far away
And you are never there.

How hard is that? That is. For example. Good grief.
