"I Before E"

Curious that a drive to collect purses for a sale to benefit Newspapers in Education should have an egregious violation of the "i before e" rule. It's a good cause - all six Gannett New Jersey newspapers are accepting handbags and wallets for the Mega Purse Sale.

Maybe the mnemonic poem about the spelling rule is no longer taught in school (or J-school), but you can read all about it at this link.

    Please get your verses right! "If the letter c you spy, put the e before the i"
