Bruce and Reinhold,

We're getting there slowly but surely.  I'm pretty sure it's not ex gratia
or even exemplum gratia, but exempli gratia.  Exempli is the genitive
case, the "of example" part of "for the sake of example,"

Pedantically,

Dave Mulroy

ID EST means "it (that) is" and we use it to introduce an equivalent word or short explanation.  It is not usually thought proper to use this term in the plural.  I must admit that I often find myself translating them into English to keep them separate.
