As someone who is afraid of heights I can tell you I'm not afraid of just one height.

I before E,

Except after C,

Or when it says A

Like neighbour or weigh.

But in half of all cases,

I and E still switch their places.

I before E,

Except after C,

When the sound is EE.

Obviously doesn’t work for seize tho.

I before E

Except after C

Or if you're a foreign counterfeiter, a heavyweight abseiler, an ageing neighbor, the reigning sovereign, a beige reindeer, or Keith.

Weird.

I like the Brian Regan version:

I before E

Except after C

Or when it sounds like A

As in neighbor and weigh

And on weekends and holidays

And all throughout May

And you'll always be wrong

No matter WHAT YOU SAY!

Tough lesson to learn.

It appears as if all but one clue leaves out the creator's opinion. Why can't they all do that?

I'm referring to the tan/beige clue.

It's part of the definition, when not used as a color it is a synonym for boring.

@FatSpartanJediLlama and @Koopa: Forty years ago my wife went into a home decor store called "Industrial Revolution." As she was paying for her purchase she asked the cashier "Is everything in here either black or white?" To which he replied, with just the right amount of emphasis on the last word, "Life is not beige."

Not his favorite color either.

I before E,

Except after C

You will guarantee,

You won’t disagree

You wouldn’t be free

For years four or three

Because you like Tennessee

You don’t belong with me

Behind me is the key

I have no mercy

You don’t have a P.H.D.

Unlike the greatest me.

Biggest lesson in history: Tennessee is the best

Couldn't think what an acrophobe was scared of despite thinking about what an acrobat does.

My guesses included senseis, weirs, and geishas...
