Like with many things in the English language, where, for example, vulnerable and invulnerable are opposites but flammable and inflammable are the same, I before E is not a hard and fast rule. | |||

I use "I before e, except after the sound of soft c, when pronounced like ee". Then I adopted the pronunciations of "eyether", "neyether", and "lehzhure" (which removed 3 exceptions, "either", "neither", and "leisure" from the list. There are still a few exceptions that have to be memorized, but my modified rule eliminates most of them. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Aparently it's no longer taught in schools, because a rule with so many exceptions is hardly a rule.

My version has few exceptions. And just because it's not being taught doesn't mean it's not useful. There is a lot that is not being taught any more that probably should be. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
