Brief Blog

The full rule is:

"i" before "e" except after "c," or when sounded as "a" as in neighbor or weigh.

beige also sounds like "a". :)
 

Well, don't forget the word atheist. That one isn't i before e, and it doesn't sound like 'a' either. Weird doesn't follow the rule either. I'm sure there are others.

Also, do other people find that they are inspired to write shorter comments in response to the brief blog? I always feel compelled to write short comments. It's a physical struggle to be writing this right now.
 

I agree. Antiplatypus' rule stinks.
