BTW, why is the name of all Keiths, spelt wrongly?
Isn't it "i before e, except after c"? NOT K!
You will have to ask the Scots why they spell Keith that way......its a town in northern Scotland. If it was spelt the other way its pronunciation would be 'kyth'.
Now how many other English words can you find spelt e before i....there are loads...

'I' before 'E' except after 'C', and some exceptions was the rule I was taught. Whilst being force fed Haliborange orange flavoured cod-liver oil........ :-#
