Well something i struggle with is something i feel like every elementary kid understands but o well. i always forget the little rhyme.. i get confused between i's and e's
Write I before E
Except after C
Or when it sounds like an AAs in "neighbor" and "weigh"
i before e: relief, believe, niece, chief, sieve, frieze, field, yield
e before i: receive, deceive, ceiling, conceit, vein, sleigh, freight, eight
Exceptions
seize, either, weird, height, foreign, leisure, conscience, counterfeit, forfeit, leisure, neither, science, species, sufficient
