"I before E..."


A friend of mine just wrote this. Not for submission to anything or whatever, but just as part of an email. As he put it: "Occasionally my right brain escapes and dribbles on the electric typewriter and i have to beat it down and shove it back into its hole."

I'm still smiling about it, though, so I figured I'd share a few smiles with you guys. I don't think my friend is fond of silly English spelling rules. emoticon Enjoy!

"anceint"?

i before e
except after c
unless it says a
as in neighbor and weigh
or weekends and holidays
and all throughout May
you'll never be right
whatever you say

That's so cute!

Please tell your friend to let his right brain escape more often! emoticon

Ah, I see. So what we have here is a slight variation, then...
