    ohh, I thought you were making an “a” vs “ay” distinction.

    I learned it exactly like them, with neighbor and weigh excluded. It is vague, and your interpretation isn’t wrong though. I’ve included parentheses, if that helps.

    I before e, except [(after c) or (as sounding like a, as in neighbor and weigh)]
