I Before E

Remember that old saying: "I before E, except after C...or when it sounds like an A, as in neighbor and weigh?"

That's crap.

The menu board at Bagel Street Deli today read "Protien Shakes." But "protien" is actually spelled protein, ergo, that rule is crap.

Who would unravel the deeply rooted deceit in this world if not me?

And now that I think about it I can name about a dozen words that don't fit this bogus rule:

science
either
neither
height
seize
weird
leisure
species
and of course...Budweiser

Perhaps I should have worked for Merriam-Webster.
