A Monday Conundrum!
'i' before 'e' except after 'c'
There is one exception to this rule, what is it?
- save0
too early for this shit...
- Jnr_Madison0
I concur.
- North_20
it's all flawed...
For example take the word weight...if that old myth was true it would be spelt wieght
...huh??
- North_20
But isn't that only half of the rhyme anyway??
I will google it
- clique0
receipt perhaps?
- nicko0
weird
- ribit0
too easy...
Rule
Write I before E
Except after C
Or when it sounds like an A
As in "neighbor" and "weigh"i before e: relief, believe, niece, chief, sieve, frieze, field, yield
e before i: receive, deceive, ceiling, conceit, vein, sleigh, freight, eight
Exceptions
seize, either, weird, height, foreign, leisure, conscience, counterfeit, forfeit, leisure, neither, science, species, sufficient
