Do they still teach kids that rule? I can remember the nuns chanting it when I was at school.

How can they tell us I before E except after C when there are so many exceptions? 😄

:^O Come on! I loved the nuns mostly, gosh I think that is how I originally became interested in politics, had a very fanatical nun in year 6.  I loved getting the holy cards when I was a good girl, I still have one in my wallet lol
