| Oct 27, 2015 at 21:46 | comment | added | Tim S. | @corsiKa The rule I learned was "I before E, except after C, and except in A, as in neighbor or weigh". Basically you can use the rule except when the "ei" syllable has a long A sound. Stupid rule/grammatical exception, but it works in most cases (I haven't been interested enough to expound to see if it's truly universal.) | |

| Oct 26, 2015 at 20:30 | comment | added | DoubleDouble | note that it's pronounced "crook-ed" where the "ed" is like the name "Ed" or the last half of "head". - Word looked weird to me at first because I'm more used to hearing it than seeing it. | |
