    I before E, except after C, and when rhyming with “a,” as in “neighbor” and “weigh.”

    Useless because it’s wrong.

      It works for most words that aren’t weird

        What difference does that make?

            ohh, I thought you were making an “a” vs “ay” distinction.

            I learned it exactly like them, with neighbor and weigh excluded. It is vague, and your interpretation isn’t wrong though. I’ve included parentheses, if that helps.

            I before e, except [(after c) or (as sounding like a, as in neighbor and weigh)]
