is".

 (but why they capitalize "ie" for
the first definition is beyond me)
Nowadays, it is written "ie", without the periods, although I for one have
not yet got used to it.

Perdona la mia grossa grassa ignoranza, ma la tua frase in inglese mi suona
"strana".
(Temo di essere rimasta molto indietro riguardo agli usi del parlato...
:(( )
Mi tradurresti la parte che dice "I for one" per favore?
Thanx!

 Mi tradurresti la parte che dice "I for one" per favore?
Se ne era parlato recentemente.
Credo si possa tradurre: Io stesso/-a  /  Io per esempio

"Wow, your boyfriend is killer!"
killer: something exceptional or great (c) Dave's ESL Cafe Slang

 Credo si possa tradurre: Io stesso/-a  /  Io per esempio
"Io, per quanto mi riguarda" mi sembra più appropriato, ma non mi ricordo
bene le conclusioni di quella discussione, che forse non ho nemmeno seguito
bene.
Escluderei sicuramente "Io, per esempio", e tutto sommato anche "Io stesso".
Direi che la cosa quaglia con la frase di Xakero.

Hai ragione! 
I for one don't believe it, quanto a me, io non ci credo

Dear Dream Catcher,
I see it has already been explained to you.
Your desire to get to the bottom of things and know the exact significance
of an unknow expression you come across is most laudable and a splendid way
to learn the language. Lest you copy my mistake, let me add that -- totally,
absolutely and completely correctly -- "for one" should have been placed
between commas -- "I, for one, have not yet got used to it" -- but the comma
rules have been watered down over the decades since I learnt them and one
sees commas used much less frequently today in places where earlier a
professor of English language would have ruled them compulsory.

In scientific articles I can witness it is *still* written i.e. (thank god,

I am glad to see that at least that part of the universe is still in order,
i.e. in the order that I have been accustomed to see it.
(There's also the newfangled eg in lieu of e.g., looking like a mispelled
egg)
(5 seconds later... Hooray! My spellchecker proposes to substitute eg with
egg, ego or e.g., in that order. Now I'll sleep well tonight.)

Mine doesn't. But moans about a misspelled "mispelled" ;)))
But I, for one, am the *king* of all misspellings!!! :(
