You know the rule "I before E except after C and when it sounds like A as in Neighbor or Weigh"?
I found this to be ironic: the word weird breaks that rule. Weird, isn't it?

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

I don't think there's any rule in the English language without at least one exception. I'm not terribly surprised by it.

It always amazes me that certain phrases are so persistent, like tuna fish, hot water heater and unthaw. Of course, after my experience in public school, I really shouldn't be surprised.
