R’s and IE’s or is it EI? No C though…

I have a coffee cup, I have many in fact but this one became my own inspiration for something whacky.

But first…

How old are you? Are you one of the old ‘boomer’ generation who learnt reading, writing and arithmetic (the three R’s) and I before E? or are you the new generation who never have but probably need a chiropractor for the vulture neck?

Do you know the second one? For those who don’t…

I before E except after C…

Me I am not old enough to claim fame to the ‘strongest generation’ but I was taught those rules.

It’s one of those weird English spelling rules, and my coffee cup has the mnemonic conundrum on it, and so I was sitting and drinking, as one does when using a cup, and I was like “I wonder if I can actually make this into an image.”

Lo and behold you can, but as with anything it has elements of fucked-up-ed-ness because what is munted than a little left of sideways? So here’s to the rule that actually makes no sense (add an n and you have nonsense, HA!) in the English language.

I before your caffeine turns wEIrd

Shower thought:

The phonetics of weird is…weird.

If you are British (or Australian, as yours truly) you will pronounce the EI as an “ee”

But…

If you’re American, with your wild and whacky accents, you’ll say EI as in “ear”

I say weird, you say wierd but it’s just..

Wei/ierd…

Does it look angry? what about vengeful? Little bit bloody? Little bit gory? I’m honestly hoping all of the above, but perhaps not for the reason you may be thinking.

This darling little cherry, with his angry tongue sticking out ready to curse the next unsuspecting victim into absolute chaos was born from one of the greatest tv shows (in my opinion) ever made.

Based on the book of the same title by Todd Grimson, the story tells of a young director trying to make her way in Hollywood, when this big movie producer tries to undermine her she meets the most enigmatic character in Boro, taking her down some of the craziest twists and turn rabbit holes of horrific folklore proportions.

If you haven’t seen it, I would 100% recommend it.

Anywho, the cherry..it’s pretty simple and I take inspiration from whatever strikes me at the time, this time it was a vengeful cherry based on a tv show.

Interestingly, I don’t think there was one scene with cherries in it…
