I didn't mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell "neither" if I just remember the e comes before the i... that's the problem.
It's like saying "if you want to be rich just get more money" or "NASCAR is easy cuz it's all left turns"
The "I before E" rule is weird.
Yeah... A lot of exceptions to that rule, mainly because of how the English language developed.
I after E, except after C; when it sounds like "ee".
....or when sounded like "ay" as in "neighbor" or "weigh".
Actually, let me double check that with my foreign buddies Keith and Heidi, they've got eight children who are all cops and busted a major counterfeit heist the other day. Weird, right?
Man, English blows.
Gimme Newspeak already. The world isn't cyberpunk enough yet.
