that was great!@bstardust Thanks, Brittani!
It's not a science is it?
@brianbilston Brilliant work, I finally caught on.
@brianbilston
'i' before 'e', except after 'c' -
... or when sounded as 'a',
as in 'neighbours' and 'weigh'.
@wellingtonrock @brianbilston That's the version I'm familiar with as well, but there are still plenty of non-long-'a' examples in there.
@brianbilston you sleigh 
@estheria There’s no need to sledge me on here, sister
@brianbilston RationalWiki has an amusing collection of counterexamples, in their help page on avoiding common mistakes:
Remember: "i before e except after c", unless your spellchecker disagrees. Anyway, i isn't even real, e is transcendental, and c is the speed of light. Why should they obey silly grammarians when they occur in words?
[Footnote, heavily snipped]
...except where it is just weird of course. However, being atheistic (as we do not make obeisance to any omniscient deity) scientists we might deign to abseil from the height of our ivory towers and in our leisure-time find sufficient, perhaps even a surfeit, of examples...
So if you are neither canoeing round a weir, peeing on the concierge of a hacienda nor sleighing down a glacier, and are still bewildered by the lunacies of English spelling outlined herein try visiting Eire and check out the intricacies of Irish spelling....
