you can remember some of the exceptions by this phrase: "Neither leisured foreigner seized the weird heights." (except "leisured" has an "ay" sound so you might as well exclude the word altogether. the word "financier" is also exempt.)

also i think the "weird" spelling has something to do with shakespeare?

edit: apparently there's another phrase "the sheik traded his caffeine for counterfeit protein"
