The phrase [[wp:I before E except after C| "I before E, except after C"]] is a
widely known mnemonic which is supposed to help when spelling English words.
;Task:
Using the word list from [http://wiki.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt http://wiki.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt],
<br>check if the two sub-clauses of the phrase are plausible individually:
:::# ''"I before E when not preceded by C"''
:::# ''"E before I when preceded by C"''
<br>
If both sub-phrases are plausible then the original phrase can be said to be plausible.
Something is plausible if the number of words having the feature is more than two times the number of words having the opposite feature (where feature is 'ie' or 'ei' preceded or not by 'c' as appropriate).
;Stretch goal:
As a stretch goal use the entries from the table of [http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/bncfreq/lists/1_2_all_freq.txt Word Frequencies in Written and Spoken English: based on the British National Corpus], (selecting those rows with three space or tab separated words only),
''Show your output here as well as your program.''

First we need to set the variable <code>dict</code> to the text of the dictionary as a string. How to do this depends on your JavaScript platform. Using Node.js, for example, you could download a copy of the dictionary to <code>/tmp/unixdict.txt</code> and then say <code>dict = fs.readFileSync '/tmp/unixdict.txt', {encoding: 'UTF-8'}</code>.
Now we can do the task:
<syntaxhighlight lang="coco">ie-npc = ei-npc = ie-pc = ei-pc = 0
for word of dict.toLowerCase!.match /\S+/g
++ie-npc if /(^|[^c])ie/.test word
++ei-npc if /(^|[^c])ei/.test word
++ie-pc if word.indexOf('cie') > -1
++ei-pc if word.indexOf('cei') > -1
p1 = ie-npc > 2 * ei-npc
p2 = ei-pc > 2 * ie-pc
console.log '(1) is%s plausible.', if p1 then '' else ' not'
console.log '(2) is%s plausible.', if p2 then '' else ' not'
console.log 'The whole phrase is%s plausible.', if p1 and p2 then '' else ' not'</syntaxhighlight>

Using Regular Expressions, you can quickly count all occurrences of words that follow this rule and words that don't. In this solution, TDFA -- a fast, POSIX ERE engine -- was used. However, substituting any other regex engine for TDFA should only require changing the import statement. See [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Regular_expressions this page] for a list of the most common regex engines available in Haskell.
This solution does not attempt the stretch goal.

This solution only works in Unicon, but wouldn't be hard to adapt to Icon.
Assumes that words that start with "ei" violate "i before e except after
c" and that occurrences of "ei" and "ie" that occur multiple times in the
same input line should all be tested.

After downloading unixdict to /tmp:
<
Investigating the rules:
<
24
+/'cei' E. dict
Line 34 ⟶ 2,376:
490
+/'ei' E. dict
230</
So, based on unixdict.txt, the "I before E" rule seems plausible (490 > 230 by more than a factor of 2), but the exception does not make much sense (we see almost twice as many i before e after a c as we see e before i after a c).
Line 44 ⟶ 2,386:
After downloading 1_2_all_freq to /tmp, we can read it into J, and break out the first column (as words) and the third column as numbers:
<
words=: >0 { allfreq
freqs=: 0 {.@".&>2 { allfreq</
With these definitions, we can define a prevalence verb which will tell us how often a particular substring is appears in use:
<
(y +./@E."1 words) +/ .* freqs
)</
Investigating our original proposed rules:
<
1.76868</
A generic "i before e" rule is not looking quite as good now - words that have i before e are used less than twice as much as words which use e before i.
<
0.328974</
An "except after c" variant is looking awful now - words that use the cie sequence are three times as likely as words that use the cei sequence. So, of course, if we modified our original rule with this exception it would weaken the original rule:
<
1.68255</
Note that we might also want to consider non-adjacent matches (the regular expression 'i.*e' instead of 'ie' or perhaps 'c.*ie' or 'c.*i.*e' instead of 'cie') - this would be straightforward to check, but this would bulk up the page. (And, to be meaningful, we'd want a more constrained wildcard than <code>.*</code> -- at the very least we would not want to span words.)

This solution uses grammars and actions to parse the given file, the <tt>Bag</tt> for tallying up occurrences of each possible thing we're looking for ("ie", "ei", "cie", and "cei"), and junctions to determine the plausibility of a phrase from the subphrases.

===weighted version===
Using the default word frequency count file, several discrepancies (or not) became apparent:
::* some "words" were in fact, phrases
::* some words were in the form of x / y indicating x OR y
::* some words were in the form of x/y (with no blanks) indicating x OR y, or a word
::* some words had a '''~''' prefix
::* some words had a '''*''' suffix
::* some words had a '''~''' suffix
::* some words had a '''~''' and '''*''' suffix
::* one word had a '''~''' prefix and a '''~''' suffix
::* some lines had an imbedded '''[xxx]''' comment
::* some words had a ''' ' ''' (quote) prefix to indicate a:
::::* possessive
::::* plural
::::* contraction
::::* word (as is)
All of the cases when an asterisk ['''*'''] or tilde ['''~'''] was used <u>weren't</u> programmatically handled within the REXX program; it is assumed that prefixes and suffixes were being used to indicate multiple words that either begin or end with (any) string (or in some case, both).
A cursory look at the file seems to indicate that the use of the tilde and/or asterisk doesn't affect the rules for the mantra phrases.

It's a moot point whether one should include words beginning with "ei" or "ie" in this analysis as I've certainly never applied the rule to them and there are clearly a lot more of the former than the latter (22 to 1 for unixdict.txt). Despite this reservation I've included them anyway.
Also there are seven words which fall into two categories and which have therefore been double-counted.
