Use i before e except after c
Or when sounded like a as in neighbor or weigh;
And except seize and seizure and also leisure,
Weird, height, and either,
Forfeit, and neither.

and in words like neighbor and weigh
if you just go to a search engine and type in the beginning of a phrase you can't remember, 9 times out of 10 it will bring up the rest of it.
