Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary:
ei & i.e.
The familiar rule is that English words are spelled with
the “I” before the “E” unless they follow a “C,” as in “receive.”
But it is important to add that words in which
the vowel sound is an “A” like “neighbor” and “weigh”
are also spelled with the “E” first.
And there are a few exceptions
like “counterfeit,” “seize,” and “weird.”
