Nice humblebrag that the time zone wouldn’t be correct for you.

Yes in my town. I keep thinking there were more than one crew members standing around this watching/working too.

It’s been pointed out to me that the movie title Weird Science violates both “i before e” and “except after c” in a mere two words.

I give an a-minus to the above board which ignores the existence of “except after c”.

[Random_Redhead]

“Or in words with long ‘a’ such as neighbor or weigh.”

I give it a C- especially considering it’s a bookstore’s board.

Gawd, just stop it.
It’s funny, and move on.

Not only that, but THERE IS A SIGN WITH THE CORRECT SPELLING RIGHT THERE!!

I Before E Except After C

I before e, except after c
Or when sounded as ‘a’ as in ‘neighbor’ and ‘weigh’
Unless the ‘c’ is part of a ‘sh’ sound as in ‘glacier’
Or it appears in comparatives and superlatives like ‘fancier’
And also except when the vowels are sounded as ‘e’ as in ‘seize’
Or ‘i’ as in ‘height’
Or also in ‘-ing’ inflections ending in ‘-e’ as in ‘cueing’
Or in compound words as in ‘albeit’
Or occasionally in technical words with strong etymological links to their parent languages as in ‘cuneiform’
Or in other numerous and random exceptions such as ‘science’, ‘forfeit’, and ‘weird’.

This thread is literally dedicated to nitpicking. If that’s going to bother you, find a different thread.

There are very few people that I meant to piss off BTW. Like almost none. I thought this’d be a fun/ny place like the innumeracy thread.

[T-roy]

I’ve actuarially heard this as “I before E except after C AND when it sounds like AAAEY as in NEIGhBOR”

And that was a loooong time ago.

That takes out a few more of these ei ie words
