Few common words have the cei spelling handled by the rule: verbs ending -ceive and their derivatives (perceive, deceit, transceiver, receipts, etc.), and ceiling.

In The Netherlands, the fourth year of school is called group 6, and the pupils are 9 to 10 years old. Children start school at the age of four and end school at the ages of 12 or 13. In Belgium, it is called 4th (study) year. The children are also between the ages of 9 and 10. [3]
Not all words in this list are acceptable in Scrabble tournament games. Scrabble tournaments around the world use their own sets of words from selected dictionaries that might not contain all the words listed here. Qi is the most commonly played word in Scrabble tournaments, [10] and was added to the official North American word list in 2006. [11]
Some lists of common words distinguish between word forms, while others rank all forms of a word as a single lexeme (the form of the word as it would appear in a dictionary). For example, the lexeme be (as in to be ) comprises all its conjugations ( is , was , am , are , were , etc.), and contractions of those conjugations. [ 5 ]
The month–day–year style of writing dates requires a comma after the year, e.g., "On September 15, 1947, she began her first year at Harvard." Decade names should not include an apostrophe before the s ("She was born in the 1980s." instead of "She was born in the 1980's."). Generally do not refer to a decade without its century.
