My Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 8th ed, says:
	e.g. /(')e-`je/ abbr [L exempli gratia] for example
	i.e. /(')i-`e/ abbr [L id est] that is

Amazingly, my Webster's New World Dictionary, College Edition, 1959, agrees:
	e.g., exempli gratia, [L.], for the sake of example; for example.
	i.e., id est, [L.], that is.

Q.E.F., quod erat faciedum, [L.],  which was to be done.
