Hi all,
<LOL> that is funny!
Just as an FYI, the word 'deity' is an exception to the little spelling
rhyme we all learned in school:
I before e,
Except after C,
Or when sounded like ay,
As in neighbor and weigh.
Reason, it's a Latin word comes from 'Deus" meaning God. Hence deity.
Doesn't English drive you nuts? You just get to learn a rule, and then
somebody comes along and says, this word's an exception to the rule.
Is it any wonder so many people have trouble spelling?
Ann P.
