I before E except after C with Exceptions

Remember that rule or else! :3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_before_e

Below is just partial info. See the link for everything.

Wikipedia said:

"I before E, except after C" is a mnemonic rule of thumb for English spelling. If one is unsure whether a word is spelled with the sequence ei or ie, the rhyme suggests that the correct order is ie unless the preceding letter is c, in which case it is ei. For example:

ie in believe, fierce, collie, die, friend

ei after c in deceive, ceiling, receipt, receive

The rule is very well known; Edward Carney calls it "this supreme, and for many people solitary, spelling rule".[1] However, its short form as above has several common exceptions; for example:

ie after c: species, science, sufficient

ei not preceded by c: seize, weird, vein, foreign, eider, their, feisty

Many more exceptions are listed below.

The proportion of exceptions can be reduced by restricting application of the rule based on the sound represented by the spelling. Two common restrictions are:

including only cases where the spelling represents the "long e" sound (the lexical sets of FLEECE and perhaps NEAR and happy)

excluding cases where the spelling represents the "long a" sound (the lexical sets of FACE and perhaps SQUARE). This is commonly expressed by continuing the rhyme "or when sounding like A, as in neighbour or weigh"

Some authorities deprecate the rule as having too many exceptions to be worth learning.

Flooding

So this is the flooding we got back on January 18, 2011.

We weren't affected. It was the west part of town where it's lower that got hit with it. Some homes were unlivable afterwards, but I can't remember if it was permanent or not.

As for the east area where we live, all we saw were overflowing drains, but the water didn't get high enough to cause any damage. The problem in the west area is not only that it's lower, it's that the Yakima River's there. There are also creeks.

EU Fines Microsoft over Web Browser

Source: MSN News

Published: 3/6/2013

MSN News said:

The European Union has fined Microsoft 561 million euro (£484 million) for breaking a pledge to offer personal computer users a choice of internet browsers when they install the company's flagship Windows operating system.

The penalty imposed by the EU's executive arm, the European Commission, is a first for Brussels: no company has ever failed to keep its end of a bargain with EU authorities before.

In 2009, Microsoft struck a broad settlement with the commission to resolve disputes over Microsoft's abuse of the dominance of Windows, which had spanned more than a decade.

The company agreed to pay 860 million euro (£742 million) and promised to give Windows users the option of choosing another browser rather than having Microsoft's Internet Explorer automatically installed on their machines.

But Microsoft failed to stick to the deal for some 15 million installations of Windows 7 in Europe from May 2011 until July 2012. The company admitted the failure last year, adding that it was an oversight.

The commission's top regulator, Joaquin Almunia, said at a press conference in Brussels, Belgium, that the fine reflected the size of the violation and the length of time it went on. It was also intended to make an example of Microsoft and deter other companies from doing same thing. "A failure to comply is a very serious infringement that must be sanctioned accordingly," he said.

Mr Almunia has advocated negotiated settlements since he took office in 2010, saying competition issues are best resolved quickly. He says slapping big fines on companies years after the fact does little to help consumers. But he said the whole point of a settlement is undermined when companies then do not abide by its terms. "They must do what they committed to do, or face the consequences," he said.

Mr Almunia conceded that the commission had been "naive" in appointing Microsoft itself to oversee compliance with the agreement, and said the commission will not allow that in the future.

For its part, Microsoft was apologetic. "We take full responsibility for the technical error that caused this problem and have apologised for it," the company said in a statement. "We provided the Commission with a complete and candid assessment of the situation, and we have taken steps ... to help avoid this mistake - or anything similar - in the future." The company is required to offer consumers a choice of browsers through 2014.

In all, Microsoft has now paid a total of 2.2 billion euro (£1.9 billion) in fines to the commission since 1998, when regulators opened their first investigation against the company. Some of those fines were for failing to obey the commission's orders, but this is the first time a company has admitted to breaking a promise made to the EU regulator.
