I before E except after C and in words that rhyme with neighbor and weigh. So epileptics have siezures at their liezure? :) We don't even have rules for spelling that make any sense (or are even rules for that matter). :) I thought French and German were easy relatively. I'm wondering if these vagaries of French are just vagaries because we aren't French.

In French, there are some rules, but I could not even begin to name them. But the rules, I believe, have more to do with how you write words, than why they are feminine or masculine. But then again, nobody expects the language of love to be easy, right?
