     but yo, doesn't e have special significance to the nation, as they feel placing the "I" before "E" except after "C" preferences the (now known to be unintellible) internalist notion find intelligibility's primacy in the subjectivized I (a la) rather then the involved 5 senses (here signed in e, the fifth letter of the alphabet) unless that sense is sight, which is sufficiently detached for whitey's yakubian purposes.
