You may well be right Karl.
But I was always taught; "I before E, except after C".
Not sure if the rule appleis here though.
Still dreich here, with more in the way of moderate rain now as opposed to
the mizzle earlier.

I think it's been a few years since we've had such a driech day in the
central lowlands.
Driech being a Scots word for a combination of mist, murk, drizzle and
depressing grey weather.

Hi Alex

Isn't it spelt 'dreich'?
Note for prospective users of the word, the ch is pronounced as the ch in
Mach.
