I before E except after C and when it makes the long A sound.

It doesn't. The words neighbor and weigh are the exception to the rule.

there are dumb rules to everything in the english language...we just cant seem to follow our own rules perfectly. ever. weight is an exception to the i before e rule but almost everything else applies

The English language is just a mash of a bunch of different languages. The rules don't always apply! Weight is correct.
