I before E except after C, and when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh,

and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May, and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say

the claim, made on the BBC show QI, that there are 923 words that are spelled cie, and only about 40 or so that are spelled cei, and for those who follow the neighbour [e[ei]ule, the extreme number of exceptions has rendered the rule β€œdumb and useless.”

the UK’s education department which, in 2009, advised teachers through a document titled, Support for Spelling that: β€œThe I before e except after c rule is not worth teaching [s[since]t applies only to words . . . which . . . stand for a clear /ee/ sound and unless this is known, [m[many]ords . . . look like exceptions. There are so few words where the ei spelling for the /ee/ sound follows the letter c that it is easier to learn the specific words.”
