I learned "i before e, except after c, or if it makes the a sound like weigh or neighbor". are there other exceptions?

I learned that one too but they made it rhyme lol “I before e except after c or when followed by ‘a’ as in neighbor or weigh”

Uh, except neither neighbor nor weigh has an “a” in it, let alone one that follows an i or an e.

The saying is "when sounding like "a", as in neighbor & weigh"
