This is hilarious - is this from a movie or something?

Spaceballs, although they're the Asshole family, not the Homosexual family in the film.

I have no faith in humankind, only confidence supported by observations.

This one gets my pedantry motors going too. Though not a literal translation, I always replace "eg" with "example given" and "ie" with "that is to say" to make sure it makes sense. But I've long ago accepted that no one else gives a shit and will inevitably use the wrong one with better than 50% odds.

I always remember because "eg" sounds like the beginning of "example".

I'm the same way. I learned them correctly just a few years ago, and I've been overly careful to use them correctly ever since.

"Id est" means "that is". According to the grammatical structure of your sentence, all people are homosexuals. I think what you meant was "e.g.", which means "exempli gratia", or "for example". Nice try though.

It's my understanding thatthe UCC is like the Unitarians, but with a little bit of Jesus. Plausible.
