Oh, we know it's fucked up. I still can't spell recieve and receipt and I have to look up pretty much every single new word I learn to find out how it's pronounced.

In Anglophone school, We were taught as children "I before e, except after c." This works most of the time, but "reign" breaks the rule. It is not even word orgin as both recieve and reign come from French.

I thought through it and I’d wager a stiff draught that it ought not be so rough, though as I’m taught, it’s nought to cough at that a sturdy, taut bough would snap under the weight of its idiosyncrasies.
