Similar to 'I before E except after C.' Any other quirky rhymes would be appreciated.

when to use "bob and i" or "bob and me" (or any other name...you get the idea):
you would use "i" or "me" when you can remove the other person from the sentence and it still makes sense.
example:
"bob and i went to the store."
this is correct, because without "bob", you can still say "i went to the store."
"why don't you want to go with bob and me?"
this is correct, because without "bob", you can still say "why don't you want to go with me?"

People have been telling you about spelling. Is that what you want? You asked about grammar.
There is no one rule to help learn grammar. You just have to learn the rules for each application.

Stationary vs Stationery - the 'e' in the latter stands for "envelope", so it's paper.

Different spelling of noun and verb forms, eg "advice" (noun) and "advise" (verb): in the alphabet "c" comes before "s" as does "n" (for noun) and "v" (for verb).

dont know any rhymes, but if your ever reffering to a person doing something, i. e. "i have..." "she has"... "they will"...
You can always put those 2 words together. "i've" "she's" "they'll"
