A number of us learned in high school the following ditty to help us
remember the exceptions to the "i" before "e" rule:

Neither leisure foreigner seized their weird height  
Either counterfeit heifer forfeit sleight

These words encompass the majority of the exceptions.

Oh THAT'S right - I'm lucky to get my "i" before "e" and then we do "weird".

I think Solbodan needs to do a paper on this. In fact, I insist! Now,
turning to something really controversial, if Cal can only put down
USC I'll be happy even though I'm dying over the defeat of Prop 8: so
many friends treated so badly.
