No pointing of fingers at anyone (least of all to Jim)
The answer exemplifies how difficult non-Germans have with using "ie" and "ei". I also have problems with these combinations.
Again, as total aside, there was an old funny story in Sweden (probably very apocryphal) about a wartime person who was held up by German borderguards at somepoint during WW 2. Since he was rather scared by the weapons in his face he shouted "Nicht scheisse, nicht scheisse"....
