This "english" rule is useless...

[imported_goku]

"I" before "E" except after "C" like in neighbor and weigh. ->Thats how it's said, right?
Well I think this rule is absolutely useless and shouldn't be taught because commonly misspelled words like "their" and "efficient" don't follow the rule at all.

It goes:
"I" before "E" except after "C" or when it sounds like an "A" as in "neighbor" and "weigh"

Science proved that wrong.

I before E except after C (and 50% of the words in the English language).

I tried asking my doctor for some again but his conscience wouldn't let me
He told me that having provided me with such filth was an agriegeous and heinous act, and that he could not live with himself if he continued.

I feigned understanding, but the truth is, I want to kill the fvker:|

He acts all hight and mighty, as if belonging to some fvkign diety:|

*revs his engine will parked across the street that the doc crosses to get to the hospitals parking lot*

No, you just suck at English and grammar. Honestly, a thread complaining about the rules of a language and you can't even get simple capitalization right.
