This little saying is foreign to me. Thinking about it really weighs me down. Maybe I'm just being odd.

I take the rule as 'I before E, except after C, if the sound is E. In Society it's a 'ier' sound, and in Weird it's a 'ee-err' sound. Neither of those are an E sound so they don't follow that rule.

I before E except after C, or when sounding like A as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'. Unless it's 'weird'.

I didn't understand this rule for a long time because I always used "science" as an example.
