Re: "I" Before "E," Except After "C"

Another english thing that bugs me is the letter 'C'. There is absolutely NO need for it, it's soft sound is a 's' and it's hard sound is a 'k'. It's just there to make spelling harder!

The C is there to look pretty, obviously.
I say we replace it with a whole new sound.

...the base chord from 'Smoke on the Water', f'rinstance. Will make pronunciation much more interesting.

English is like many other languages. It makes a rule, then it has a rule for those which break the rule, and then it has words which are generally unpleasant and don't obey any rule but themselves.

It's an anarchy, it really is.
