Dark Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 [i]Discuss gramatical exceptions.[/i] I think you already used one. You thought it was spelled "gramatical" and not "gram[b]m[/b]atical". Good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thought it was spelled "gramatical" and not "gram[b]m[/b]atical". Good for you! [/quote] No, that was just me mispelling the word. I meant discuss rules that don't follow gramatical rules, like "science" not following the "i" before "e" rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Oh, you didn't think it was an exception? I was underestimating your intelligence... somewhat. Also, you still haven't fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 "i" before "e" except after "c" and when sounding like "a" as in "neighbor" and "weigh" and on weekends, and holidays and all throughout may and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say! ;D *shot* OT - Can't really think of anything, but rules were made to be broken.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Grammar is weird, but such is the language where the plurals of one word don't even resemble the plurals of a word similar in structure. If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrystalCyae Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Simple. Rules are broken every day. Grammar didn't stand a chance. The "I" before "E" rule is one of the common rules broken. Such as in "science" "their" "caffeine" and many others. It's the rule that never should have existed.
