- I_before_E_except_after_C abstract ""I before E, except after C" is a mnemonic rule of thumb for English spelling. If one is unsure whether a word is spelled with the sequence ei or ie, the rhyme suggests that the correct order is ie unless the preceding letter is c, in which case it is ei. For example: ie in believe, fierce, collie, die, friend ei after c in deceive, ceiling, receipt, ceilidhThe rule is very well known; Edward Carney calls it "this supreme, and for many people solitary, spelling rule". However, its short form as above has many common exceptions; for example: ie after c: species, science, sufficient ei not preceded by c: seize, weird, vein, their, foreign, feistyMany more exceptions are listed below. The proportion of exceptions can be reduced by restricting application of the rule based on the sound represented by the spelling. Two common restrictions are: excluding cases where the spelling represents the sound of the name of the letter "a" (/eɪ/), which has the lexical set of FACE (or /ɛər/ and the lexical set of SQUARE, when followed by an "r"). This is commonly expressed by continuing the rhyme "or when sounding like A, as in neighbour or weigh" including only cases where the spelling represents the sound of the name of the letter "e" (/iː/), which has the lexical set of FLEECE (or /ɪər/, which has the lexical set of NEAR, when followed by an "r"). Some authorities deprecate the rule as having too many exceptions to be worth learning.".
