User:Jebus/I before E, except after C

“Neighbours, I cannot reiterate this sufficiently, much less in surfeit, if I say it eighty times: the heirs of the world will never be able to spell proficiently, even with the aid of caffeine, with the reigning educational agencies reinforcing, and decreeing that we monotheistically deify, this weirdest, most unscientific of fallacies. The counterfeit rule is foreign to the way so many words are spelled. The society of the human species, obeisant plebeian and heightened sovereign alike, needs to change its zeitgeist, conscientiously weigh this rule's deficiencies and sound the reveille, thus guaranteeing that someone seizes the reins and unveils a reinvented rule with all due efficiency. That's my dream anyway, and I'm not prone to false oneiromancies.”

~ Keith Mercier on I before E except after C

I before E, except after C is a mnemonic device taught to Accountants as a way of remembering the common order of accounting operations involved in standard tax deductions. The full version is Income before Earnings, except after Credit deductions.

I before E, except after C is also a hard and fast rule of the English language. It is one of the fundamental tenets of Modern English, and may not be violated under any circumstances, on pain of death.

Blatant Disregard

The following is a partial list of words that violate this rule.

Also, note that in the Alphabet E comes before I. But there are some other letters in the way, so it's all ok.

C

Note: Words starting with C don't count because they start with C, DUUUHHHHHHHH!!

   [comment left by reader that cannot be bothered to use the shift key]: 'i' before 'e', except
   after 'c'.. well, what about the words that have 'c' then 'i' and 'e' in that order after it?

Glorious Efforts of Chairman Mao to enforce I before E, except after C

Chairman Mao has bravely enforced the rule of I before E, except after C. As you can see from the above list, most words violating the rule have been eraticated due to the efforts of Chairman Mao, and are no longer featured as articles in the People's Republic of Uncyclopedia. Chairman Mao has gloriously protected us from these words, which are capitalists, Nationalists, and popes. Some of these words still survive, and are believed to be on Taiwan. They should not be approached.
