"I Before E"
I think the "i before e" rule is the dumbest rule because it has too many caveats: "except after c, or when sounding like "ay" as in neighbor and weigh" ... and that doesn't even cover them all! How about, "and in East Europe names such as Dweir and Stein, and some others like height that just won't toe the line. English is weird, and English is feisty. The science of language does not work out nicely" Ugh. The human species seized upon language, their vein of tools foreign from other species. And a rhyme is not sufficient to categorize our sound-scribbles. Well that sounded super pretentious, but really those sentences were just a thin veil covering what's really just a list of words that don't follow the "rule" either.
