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

No, id est translates to “that is”.

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

No, "in other words" is "in otras palabras." Or is that Catalan? All those Romance languages look so similar.

Just remember, today is the anniversary of the repeal of the 18th amendment. Nunc est bibendum!
