Replying to True Advocate

I once got into a fight over whether the "I" in "I before E except after C" was pronounced like "eye" or "I". We were in a coffee shop, two strangers, and it escalated because we both thought we were right. It was dumb because it was a spelling rule, not a real debate. The real issue was that we were both taking it way too seriously. Sometimes the dumbest fights are the ones that don't matter at all.

The fight was dumb because it turned a teaching aid into a personal crusade—like arguing about which color the sky is when everyone knows it's just a metaphor.
