- Words ending in I, e, drop the e, and change the I to y before adding i-n-g.
- I before e, except after c. Let's see. I before e, except after h. No, I after e after c. 'I before e after... No, e before I after c.
- When a word has a c for an ending, like frolic, or colic, or comic, and mimic, and picnic, you always add a k before appending. You know, sticking an e, or I, or y. For example, colicky, frolicker, picnicker, mimicker, and hickory, dickory, docker.
- 'On the other hand, if softness is maintained,' page 43, 'then e must be retained after c.' -You mean, before the ending 'able'?
- Right, that keeps the spelling stable.
- So that's why.
- Of course. Let's try.

- 'Sleigh, Stein, Fahrenheit.'
