Ron H.'s Comments

for nach (28) in reference to taka: You showed great restraint regarding taka's entry, but I can't help myself.
Dear taka, you began your post with "While I could care less about the whole debate...." In order to be able to care less about a particular subject than one cares presently, one would have to care to some degree, at least a little bit. If you meant to state that you did not care at all, you missed the mark. Of course, it would be simplest just to say "I don't care," but in the interest of verbosity or emphasis, one might properly state that one "could not care less." This implies that one's state of concern is so abysmally low that a reduction is not possible. To put this concept in the vernacular, one would have a "zero care factor."

The "I before E" rule is a generality, and must be supplemented. The handiest (yet still incomplete) phrase I recall was "Neither foreigner seizes the weird leisure." All of the words in that sentence violate the I/E rule when correctly rendered, with the exception of the word "the".
