Ow ow ow. I can't stand it any longer! "Weird" is one of those weird
exceptions in English to the "i before e except after c" rule and
is spelled
"W-E-I-R-D" .
In case you're interested, the other exceptions are seize, inveigle ,
either, leisure, neither.
What about weigh and neighbour? :-)
(If you're invoking the codicil ``or when sounded "aye" as in
neighbour or weigh'', then shouldn't inveigle not be considered
an exception either?) (Or am I mispronouncing ``inveigle''?)
cheers,
