Isn't it supposed to be:
The letter I before E except after C?

Except in neighbor and weigh, and any other random word that has ei instead of ie...

Isn't English wonderful. Any rules has more exceptions than norms.

Maybe we should all go back to Latin. At least they kept to their rules.

The ancients created latin, although with an entirely different symbology. Symbology isn't a real word either, but I've used it so much while drafting it just comes out.

there are people that speak english as a 2nd language better than I as a native speaker

and if I learned to speak their language.. well.. they'd probably speak their language better too :/

Is English more concise? It seems like the english directions are always the shortest.

the thing about other languages is it's like they've got a different word for everything.
