My customers don't really know what SKU means and most people don't unless they sell products. So I'd like to make my site more user friendly by changing anything that says "sku" to "item Id" or "Item #" or "item number" is there a way to do this easily. I don't care if the admin section still shows sku, but I just want anything the customer sees to read "item..."

Places I've noticed the word "sku":
Sort by in categories
Advanced Search
product pages
ajax bubble
i am sure there are more but I only remember those.

If anyone has done this or has any ideas on how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Have you tried editing the includes/languages.asp file? Do a search & replace for SKU and change it to hat you want. Most text on the front end of the site is controlled by languages.asp.

Modify pc/xml_getPrdInfo.asp. Search for the text SKU. Check carefully because it uses variable names of SKU that shouldn't be replaced.
