It makes you sound sophisticated because it means 'the' in French.

it's a play on French.
"le" is french for "the" |

i.e. is short for the Latin 'id est', meaning 'which is' or 'that is'. I think it's been adopted as a stylistic thing in the last few years. It's a shortcut so it saves some keystrokes, plus both its letters are on the home row. Besides, it's easy to spell. 8^)

It is "the" in French. People use it as a joke, like fake sophisticated talking.

An erudite-wannabe who's either pretentious or affectatious. But if they're under 20yrs, tho, it's affected humor or meme.
