i before e, except after c?

silent e at the end of a word with a long vowel in the center?

at times, who in the abc really knows?

in the recent comedy, ‘bad words,’

jason bateman plays an adult who participates in a kids’ spelling bee

and is required to spell the word,

‘floccinaucinihilipilification.’

(the action or habit of estimating something as worthless) 

ouch.
