    I before E except after C....PFFFFTTT
    This is the most worthless phrase EVER to help you spell. It doesn't matter what you add to the end of this, there are too many exceptions. Does anyone have a saying that actually works? This one is almost useless in BG's experience. It almost never applies when BG uses it.:taz:

    Use a spell checker or buy a bloody dictionary?

    Ps,

    I'm allowed to spell things differently - it's a actual different language you know. :ninja: **looks to see if anyone is buying it**

    I before E except after C....and except when it makes the long A sound (ie; neighbor, weight)....and except when the word is weird. :P

    I THINK that covers most of the common issues.

    :giggle: Nice try, Derek! I'll bet it at least SOUNDS like a different language, though! :rofl:

    It doesn't even come close to covering them all. Seize for instance....and Big Gunns favorite one....CONCEITED.:D

    That saying is worthless. Really....every single time BG has tried to use it....it's been wrong. :taz:

    I before E except after C - maybe you should have tried more effectively.

    Wrong. "seize" is a weird word. It covers all the rest of the words that don't fit the saying, because they're all weird. :rofl:

    I was also gonna mention the "conceited" one, but Derek beat me to it. :P
