    I before E, except after C, and when rhyming with “a,” as in “neighbor” and “weigh.”

    Useless because it’s wrong.

        I see what you did there.

        What difference does that make?

            ohh, I thought you were making an “a” vs “ay” distinction.

            I learned it exactly like them, with neighbor and weigh excluded. It is vague, and your interpretation isn’t wrong though. I’ve included parentheses, if that helps.

            I before e, except [(after c) or (as sounding like a, as in neighbor and weigh)]
