The word "weird" is an exception to the rule "i before e except after c".
An anomaly
The exception, which is not really an exception, is that words that start with a vowel but are *pronounced* with a consonant sound, use A, not AN. This is actually the rule: AN precedes words that begin with a vowel sound (not a vowel).
Explain
The spelling rule for "recognise" is that it is spelled with an "s" in British English and with a "z" in American English.
Because if we used "it's" for possession, we'd become confused whether this were used to show possession or to show a contraction of the two words "it" and "is."
In French grammar, the rule is that there is an exception to every rule, except the rule that says there is an exception to every rule.- Rule about adjectives: they can take the mark of the plural or the mark of the feminine. That rule applies to color adjectives.- Exception: adjectives formed from animal names (saumon, tourterelle,...), mineral names (turquoise, anthracite,...), vegetal names, : marron (chestnut), noisette (hazelnut), orange, ect.. etc... These names do not vary when they are used as color adjectives (list in link)- Exception to the exceptions: rose, écarlate, fauve, pourpre... answer to the general rule.
Consistency is lacking in the English language. There is an exception for every rule making English extremely difficult to learn. Sometimes. spelling, verb forms and other aspects of English make absolutely no sense at all.
when adding a prefix, the spelling of the root word doesn't change
Capitalisation is a rule of grammar that determines when to use uppercase letters at the beginning of a sentence, for proper nouns, and sometimes for emphasis. It is not considered a part of spelling but rather a convention in written language.
Not EVERY rule, but most of them. Hence the saying, 'the exception that proves the rule.'
A grammar rule is when you have a rule of grammar which makes your English correct for example; Emma said "Turn on the light please" (correct) Emma said Turn on the light please (wrong) because you have not used speech marks which is breaking a grammar rule because the grammar rule you are breaking is to always use speech marks when someone is talking!
