I still want whoever decided that "I before E except after C" should be taught to children locked up. Im almost 50, and I still spell "their" wrong if I dont concentrate.

"I before E, except after C, or when sounded as 'ay,' like in 'Neighbour' and 'Weigh.'"

...Or when running a feisty heist with their weird, foreign neighbour, Keith.

"I before E exthept after 'th'" should do the trick. Just have to remember that the last part is pronounced "thee".
