Ibeforee might refer to
"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 sequence ei or ie, the rhyme suggests that the correct order is ie unless the preceding letter is c, in which case it is ei. For example:* ie in believe, fierce, collie, die, friend
* ei after c in receive, ceiling, receipt, ceilidhThe rule is very well known; Edward Carney calls it "this supreme, and for many people solitary, spelling rule".This rule applies to the “ē” (long e) sound as it is demonstrated in all the aforementioned examples.
*
* However, the short form quoted above has some common exceptions; for example:
*
* ie after c: species, '
* ei not preceded by c: caffeineThe proportion of exceptions can be reduced by restricting application of the rule based on the sound represented by the spelling. Two common restrictions are:
*
* excluding cases where the spelling represents the "long a" sound (the lexical sets of FACE and perhaps SQUARE ). This is commonly expressed by continuing the rhyme "or when sounding like A, as in neighbor or weigh"
* including only cases where the spelling represents the "long e" sound (the lexical sets of FLEECE and perhaps NEAR and happY ).Some authorities deprecate the rule as having too many exceptions to be worth learning.
