    Brian Regan is a comedian who does a sketch on the I before E rule.

  • @karatechick306

    OK , What..!?!? :)

  • One person just can't understand this rule. Just one.

  • The science of this forfeit is weird.

  • She is even cuter with the glasses!

  • I LOVE you!

    Every blasted time I would ask "ie" or "ei" they'd try and quote that damn rule at me, and 9 times out of ten, they were WRONG! Drives me CRAZY!

  • When people start working at Merriam-Webster, do they want to first track the dirty words like most of us did when we saw our first dictionary? :)
