It probably worked in that role.

Any whiskey/whisky I’ve tried was simply awful. I don’t know how anyone can drink it.

It is an acquired taste, and a good, complex intense single malt is the only alcohol I miss. Not for the alcohol itself, but the amazing flavours. You can keep bourbons though, although they are the only use for corn that I can see.

At a rough guess I wonder what his day job/hobby is

I'd like to know why he has got a Lounge Standard Lamp mounted on top with a Yellow Lamp shade? [bigrolf]

I have always thought that was a dimwit way of using that rule (not you my learned friend [bigsmile1]). Why? Because it goes on to say summat about........ " there are exceptions to the rule'



So why have the rule in the first place pray tell?

I tried that same argument at the highbrow school I went to. It fell on deaf ears. But it’s true. I just broke one in that last sentence btw. In a language as malleable and adaptable as English the “rules “ will always be changing. Languages that adhere to strict conventions I believe actually stilt expression.

I bet the Inuits (Eskimos) couldn't give a **** about all that crap.
If you make a clanger who is really going to criticise while they can still understand the word & it's meaning just read it. Still ,I'm glad I ain't Bill Shakespeare I can hear him now saying..." **** this for a game of Soldiers" re. The crap he would have had to put up with from his so called Learned Friends.

Somebody once (or twice or thrice) said that the English Language was one of, if not, the hardest ,languages to learn? The Yanks seem to have culled it quite ok. When written it may not look right to our eyes but it can be understood ok.

"I before E, except after C" is a mnemonic rule of thumb for English spelling. If one is unsure whether a word is spelled with the digraph ⟨ei⟩ or ⟨ie⟩, the rhyme suggests that the correct order is ⟨ie⟩ unless the preceding letter is ⟨c⟩, in which case it may be ⟨ei⟩.

Quite correct, 4bee.

I get the gist of ninety per centum of the content of this thread. [bigsmile1]
