'I' Before 'E' Except After 'C'
One of the most common and easy-to-remember rhyming spelling lessons is "'i' before 'e' except after 'c' or when sounding like 'a' as in 'neighbor' or 'weigh.'" The rule is wrong at least 25% of the time. Need some proof? Science. Forfeit. Weird. Glacier. Albeit. Fancier.
