Is it you brfore e except after c?

Answer 1

"I before E, except after C" is a mnemonic device devised to help students remember how to spell certain words in the english language. It means that, in words where i and e fall together, the order is ie, except directly following c, when it is ei. Examples:

• ie in words like siege, friend, thief
• ei in words like ceiling, receive, deceive, conceit

However, the rule, in its short form as above, has many common exceptions, such as species, science, sufficient, ancient, society (where iefollows c) or seize, weird, atheist, weight, protein, sovereignty, foreign, vein, feisty, kaleidoscope, being, and neighbor "their" (where ei is not preceded by c).

I always remember because of the song...

"I" before "E" except after "C" unless it says "A" like neighbor and weigh.

however "weird" does not follow that rule! SO I ADDED TO THE SONG XD

MY song is "I" before "E" except after "C", unless it says "A" like neighbor and weigh, although weird is not i guess it forgot, remember this rhyme your entire lifetime.

:)

Answer 2

The rhyme goes: "'I' before 'e' except after 'c', or if sounded like 'ay' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'."
