THIS ISN’T REALLY A DEBATE!!!

Or start one. We like to disagree.

Or become the topic of one if you advertise.

Debate - a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints

????

And a course taught in high school.

On the basis of contributions to date - diebate

There is no debate: i comes before e except when e comes before i.

Just don’t get thim mexed up.

do you mean mexid up?

I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C
(...When the diphthong rhymes with Key)[when sounds like ay as in neighbor or weigh]
(when I and E separate syllables go, you only need listen to know)[Neither leisured foreigner seized the weird heights] {Neither leisurely foreigner could
be inveigled into seizing the weird heights}(exceptions: sufficient, veil, their)

If I before E, can I deign to differ?

E I E I O

At least nobody deigns to differ about the o.

Don’t be too sure.
