I wrote "Surviellance " following the old rule: 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' ----- and, of course, except in the words: beige, cleidoic, codeine, conscience, deify, deity, deign, dreidel, eider, eight, either, feign, feint, feisty,
foreign, forfeit, freight, gleization, gneiss, greige, greisen, heifer, heigh-ho, height, heinous, heir, heist,
leitmotiv, neigh, neighbor, neither, peignoir, prescient, rein, science, seiche, seidel, seine, seismic, seize, sheik,
society, sovereign, surfeit, teiid, veil, vein, weight, weir, weird


and surveillance.

What a dumbass.


Mike Geary no spelling-bee scholar me.
