I think that’s also the case in English with “I before E, except after C.”

“Or when sounded as A, as in neighbor and weigh.”

“Weird.”

“Dammit!”

I hate that wiener (giggity) obeys the rule but is pronounced like it should be weiner. At least that word doesn’t come up (giggity) too often.

That one’s because the word comes from Wien (Vienna), and in German you pronounce “ie” as “E” and “ei” as “I”. In English it’s a free-for-all!
