    That’s true! I’m honestly not sure why we need to have both ei and ij. Must be difficult for people learning the language.

      It is also for those who grew up with the language. If I have no spellcheck, I sometimes just have to write it both ways and see which way feels ‘right’.

        True, sometimes it’s really simple ones, too. And sometimes I do spell it correctly but when I reread it I start to doubt myself because the word looks weird. Even though I did spell it correctly.
