Spelling rules work most of the time, except for the thousands of exceptions. For example:
I before E, except when you get eight receipts for a sleight heist from a feisty weird beige
foreign neighbor.
Case closed. Don’t you just love English spelling?
And here’s a variation based on the names of a few Facebook commentators:
I before E, except when you get eight receipts for a sleight heist from a feisty weird beige foreign neighbor named O’Reilly or Steinemann.
