There's more to that "rule" as I learned it. "I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor or weigh." Adding those takes care of a lot, but not all, of the exceptions. "This message has been brought to you by the grammar nerds. Now back to your regular programming for this thread."Yup, works about 90% of the time.
Here's where it doesn't.
I don't wish to either be feisty nor weird, but it seems foreign to me that neither height nor heist follow this leisurely suggestion of I before E.
I seize the opportunity to either forfeit my sovereignty either from my place or theirs to ensure my relative height in this community.
And if you thought that was interesting, let's turn the tables. I before E, right after C.
Science had been shown as deficient in identifying species without sufficient head count. Efficiency increases with more specimens.
I'm sitting vigil with my dying father and this thread has been a welcome occasional distraction.
