That's very impressive Lauren
I know that the English language is meant to be the hardest to learn, especially where spelling is concerned
There is a little saying:- "I" before "E", except after "C"
So, "Receive" is "E" & then "I", because it is after the letter "C"
If you say, "Friend" then it is the "I" before the "E", because it is not followed by a "C"
But, that isn't always the case
Weight, Height, Their, (plenty more)......
and that's the tip of the Ice-berg
nevermind Pyramids of Egypt...
