Is the word list complete?
I tried WEIRD and it rejected it as not a word
- zabzonk 23d agothat "i before e except after c" rule often gets taken too seriously
- LuminousWzrd 23d agoOh I've messed that one up before
- bigfishrunning 23d agoi think it's kind of beautiful that weird is a weird word
- hnlmorg 23d agoIsn’t there more exceptions to that rule than there are examples where it’s correct?
- MarkusQ 23d agoYep, at least on most static word lists. It's a fun exercise to try and improve the rule by extending it compared to just switching to "E before I".
- xigoi 23d agoOnly if you forget the final part, “…when it sounds like ‘ee’”.
- hnlmorg 22d agoThat’s a recent addendum and is far from universally taught.
