Donnyarb Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Are you pretending to be that stupid or does it come naturally? Well it's what we get taught at school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th1stleandr0se Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I before E exept after C! That's weird. I feel it in my veins that I must feign ignorance of this rule. Neither "neighbour" nor "science" deign to obey. I'll add my height and weight to the argument against it and drive a freight train through it. Foreign societies may have such a rule though. I could go on in this vein if my conscience would let me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say there weren't exceptions. At school we were told that the general rule did not apply to words which didn't feature the "E" sound. I hope "forfeit" wasn't intended as part of your smart-erse reply, because that's obviously pronounced "forfit" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th1stleandr0se Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 State comprehensive primary school I know By the way, round here, forfeit is pronounced with the ee sound, wrong as it may be according to those who make the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 So they don't pay tax? Given all the meds my mum's been prescribed through the NHS over the years, I'm pretty sure that covers all the tax they've ever paid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only once heard someone pronounce "forfeit" as "forfeet" rather than "forfit". It sounded bizarre at the time and I refuse to recognise it as a legitimate pronunciation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
