Alright; having a discussion here at work (we're really busy)......

The old saying:

I before E except after C.....

wasn't there an exception to this that finished off the saying???

for example ancient obvioulsy doesn't fall under this rule.......

It's Spanglish. Get used to it as Maryland is one of 11 states that gives out drivers licenses to illegals.

Nor does "weird".

I before E, except after C, or when sounding like A, as in "neighbor" or "weigh".

or

"As Is:" Current State

correct for the title of a slide?

Semicolons and colons always go outside the quotation marks.
