Is the word list complete?
I tried WEIRD and it rejected it as not a word
- zabzonk 1mo agothat "i before e except after c" rule often gets taken too seriously
- LuminousWzrd 1mo agoOh I've messed that one up before
- bigfishrunning 1mo agoi think it's kind of beautiful that weird is a weird word
- hnlmorg 1mo agoIsn’t there more exceptions to that rule than there are examples where it’s correct?
- MarkusQ 1mo 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 1mo agoOnly if you forget the final part, “…when it sounds like ‘ee’”.
- hnlmorg 1mo agoThat’s a recent addendum and is far from universally taught.
