Most people look at both weird and wierd, they're unsure and then they remember being taught "i before e except after c" so they choose the wrong one
With so many exceptions (eg conscience, efficient, vein, height) the rule really should be "i before e except when it's not"

Wierd and weird are both words. They have slightly different meanings.

Stating it like a fact doesn't make it true.

Actually it's "i before e except after c when the word rhymes with me". So conscience can have ie after c because it doesn't rhyme with me.
You ppl suck.
