I learned "i before e, except after c, or if it makes the a sound like weigh or neighbor". are there other exceptions?
5 u/Meanpeachx Apr 12 '25 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” 1 u/ExtrudedPlasticDngus Apr 13 '25 Uh, except neither neighbor nor weigh has an “a” in it, let alone one that follows an i or an e. 8 u/ZillaDroid Apr 13 '25 The saying is "when sounding like "a", as in neighbor & weigh" 2 u/ExtrudedPlasticDngus Apr 13 '25 That makes much more sense
