Surely if one is being sentenced one is no longer the defendant? Or is this the new Hurty Words law following the precedent of the Queen of Hearts. Sentence first, verdict after. I may be wrong, but the way our law system is going...........
"I before E, except after C" has become rather discredited due to the fact that there are so many exceptions as to render it worthless. What I don't get is how these mistakes are being made when every modern word processor corrects them automatically. Yes auto correct sometimes gets it wrong but if you give your prose a quick proof read the errors are obvious. If you choose to disable it you yourself need to be able to spell. I'm not bad at spelling but I still get stumped by words like bureaucracy so I leave my auto correct and predictive software turned on.
