Crazy language :)
Except it's not a rule but an aid to correct spelling. you could
say I SHOULD be before E EXCEPT where usage dictated otherwise. It
seems silly to sty and define something in a rule when there are so
many exceptions. Like saying 'every day is a Tuesday except when
it's not' is not an indication of a Crazy time system but an
indication of a bad rule.
Hi Stephen,
Actually, I did not say that. The person responding to me said it.
