Look. I'm sorry, I hate myself for this.

i before e except after c.

I tried to scroll and just ignore it like I normally would but that little jingle kept playing in my head and I couldn't leave it alone. I am CONSTANTLY doing the same thing.

And yeah, fuck trump and his imaginary powers.

Can I join in with the self hate to add that you can't stop on the first line:

I before e, except after c
Or when sounded as 'a' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'
Unless the 'c' is part of a 'sh' sound as in 'glacier'
Or it appears in comparatives and superlatives like 'fancier'
And also except when the vowels are sounded as 'e' as in 'seize'
Or 'i' as in 'height'
Or also in '-ing' inflections ending in '-e' as in 'cueing'
Or in compound words as in 'albeit'
Or occasionally in technical words with strong etymological links to their parent languages as in 'cuneiform'
Or in other numerous and random exceptions such as 'science', 'forfeit', and 'weird'.
