In the thread title, you mispelled "Grammar" and you put an unneeded apostraphe in "Pros".
Just throwing that out there.

There are exceptions to every single rule in the English language, it's not anything new.

There are far more:
deity, either, foreign, forfeit, leisure, neither, protein, reincarnate, reinforce, reinstate, seize, sovereign
And the list goes on. lol.

Bigmack is right because it is indeed "I before E except after C", but "species" has and I before an E and it is after C, so it defies the rule.RedTwizzler wrote:

The whole grammar rule thing is "'I' before 'e' except after 'c' also as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'."
I often put apostrophes in things like, say CPU's instead of CPUs. Is it wrong? Sure, but it just looks better IMO.
Can I be a grammar pro? Pretty please.
No, that's spelling anyway. Also, are you attempting to use "pretty please" as a sentence without a verb or subject? You are crazy.Entertayner wrote:

If no rule is without exception, then an exception exists for this rule.
