nuiances or nuisances ?

- its last night, not yesterday night.
- its this morning, not today morning.
- There is no word called costed.
- Its at least. Not atleast.
- ei in any english word is always in the same order.( i.e. e comes after i ). Exception: if the previous letter is c.
eg: weird,beige, recieve,believe
- Its alphabet, that’s the whole set. There is nothing called alphabets.

Update:

Sailusha: hey i think u got the rule wrong.
the verse[:)] goes..

“Write I before E
Except after C”

Or when it sounds like an A
As in “neighbor” and “weigh”

if we limit the rule only to the phonetic [ee] (u know), the exceptions are seize, either, neither, leisure, counterfeit, forfeit (whr E’s before I)
and species (whr I’s before E, following C)

otherwise it’s
seize, either, weird, height, foreign, leisure, conscience, counterfeit, forfeit, neither, science, species, sufficient

cool eh?!

ok :) jus FYI,
technically, “alphabets” can be a word.. as in-
“different alphabets have a different no of letters blah blah..” meaning alphabets of diff languages.
and u misspelt nuance.and “it’s” (i can’t HELP it!)

I’ve decided to leave everything as it is though. Until someone can help me out with batch editing on wordpress posts.
Also, I’ve decided never to blog without thinking what I’m writing. :)

    Btw, I think about 90% of the people that know me hate me for correcting them about “this morning” and “last night” lol
