Writing a Program to Break English

English is weird, in fact I have already broken the 'rule' I before e except after c in just 3 words... imagine how much more we can break in 6 minutes!

Inspired by the wonderful Matt Parker and his video ‘Why the longest English word is PAPAL and SPA is the pointiest’

In true Matt Parker Fashion, here are my mistakes in the video:
- At 21 seconds I should have said "you can only have an 'ei' if you are after a c' I am pretty impressed with this mistake, I think I said the exact opposite of what I meant in every possible way

If you find any more mistakes please let me know!

🕒 Timestamps:
00:00 -  I Before E, except... What does it really mean?
00:40 - So how useful is this rule anyway?
01:09 - The BIGGEST Words that break the rule!
02:47 - the s m a l l e s t words that break the rule.
03:33 - What is a 'Middle Word' and why I want one for Christmas
04:36 - How bad really is this rule?

Proof that 'cie' is an English word because I can't believe it either:
