I think the dude needs to worry more about the general rules before moving on to exceptions :\

[Avvesione]

When the sound is /i:/,
it's I before E
except after C.

or when pronounced /eI/
as in "neighbour" and "weigh".

whatabout the word Height ?

[thompkinsthebrian]

the rule is bullshit plain and simple. to have a rule but a dozen exceptions means its not really a rule.


weird is another example.

maybe if you are speaking some other form of english. but american english has no real rules. also if you look up this rule. it isnt a general rule its actually a rule intended for those that are already very good at spelling.

im not english major. matter of fact my english sucks, but i only posted that cause its funny when people post here and all they can do is try to correct someone's grammar and/or spelling, then they are wrong.

That is where you are wrong. English does have rules but with hundreds of secondary rules. English is by far the hardest language to master as far as rules and correct word usage due to the multiple dialects which english has been derived from. Most borrowed words retain their original spellings, the rule itself usually applies to

"ie" or "ei" which have an "ee" (long e) sound. Others (ay or other sounds) are usually spelled "ei."

also i found this is the complete rule

Use i before e except after c or when sounded like a as in neighbor or weigh; and except seize and seizure and also leisure, weird, height, and either, forfeit, and neither.

with secondary rules it still, in my opinion means there are no real solid rules.

how many words actually have i before e then? lol

i is used to being wrong when it is be pertaining to english talk.
