The words thief is often spelling theif by mistake. So the Tip we must remember for this is that "I" Before "E". Other examples of words being misspelled are relieved , relief , believed and belief.
If the word like received with a "C" in front of "E"and"I" It should not be spelled as recieved but should be spelled as received.
Mrs Tay i found this link and i like to share it.

Mrs Tay,how we ensure that some of the words is in British and not American?Malay teachers always 'mix'it up..very confusing
i think its quite easy to remember the words, especially apparent. the tip is: both your parents need to pay the rent.
the 'tips' of apparent is two parent to pay the rent.'tips' of acceptable is accept the table.
I've learnt alot , especially some of the words with double letters in some case , an example is apparent . Also , ive had a problem with spelling friend cause sometimes i spell it as freind ._. But , after look through the list , ive learnt alot and through the example of theif .
I look forward to having a new table mate and new group ^^ .
How you remember apparent:both your parents have to pay rent.
How you remember thief:"I"before "E".
Thanks Mrs Tay for giving us the list.I have learnt a lot from it.I am confident that if I learnt the list well, this will not be a problem for me in editing!
For the word thief, we have to remember that the letter "I" comes before the letter "E" . To make a story out of it, you "I" come before him "E" . "I" is yourself and "E" is him. Because "E" sounds like him. This story seems like you're very proud. ^_^ Other examples are the words relieved, relief, believe, belief.
But there are words that when there is a letter "C" in front,this rule does not apply. Examples are: received, deceived.
And there is also another word in which "I" does not come after "E". That word is "foreign". Another story to remember this is that since the rule of this word is not mentioned ( i think ) is that this word is foreign. That is what i have learnt!! ^_^
Thanks Mrs Tay for posting this up. Yes, i have learnt that in order to remember the word "thief", we just have to remember that the letter "I" is before the letter "E".The same thing goes for the word "believe", some of us(including me) had misspelled as "beleive". So whenever i relook at the word that i had written, i found it weird and changed it to "believe".It has the same logic as the word "thief".
And also for the principal and principle. We often get confuse with the word and meaning of these 2 words.I have the same problem as Leona sometimes, and also with the word "weird". I would often spelled it as "wierd", hehe.
The word "calendar" was also misspelled as "calender" as the last syllable pronounced was in the "E" tone, many people had thought that the "E" tone was letter "E", and had forgotten that it was supposed that it was the letter"A".
Mavis, do you remember the tip I gave on differentiating between the two words 'principle' and 'principal'?
the word "calendar" gives me a headache.
