Hey, check it, you will find that mostly it is I before E except after C. Look in a dictionary. There are always exceptions to a rule...if it ends in ing or ght for instance...like height The complete saying is "I before E except after C, or when sounded like A as in neighbor and weigh". That really covers a lot of words, leaving only a few exceptions like weird and neither. At the advanced age of 62 years, I confess I had not heard the final part about 'neighbour' and 'weigh'. That makes a lot of sense, I must remember it.
