    A little Googling finds this:

    In the Oxford English Dictionary, there are 8161 words that involve the letters i and e adjacent to each other.
    To follow the rule, they would have to occur in the order "ie", unless they are preceded by the letter "c", in which case they must occur in the order "ei".

    • Words that have ie, not after c (ambience, achieved): 5232
    • Words that have cei (apperceive, ceiling): 182

    To break the rule, they would have to occur in the order "ei" without being preceded by a "c" or appear in the order "ie" while being preceded by a "c".

    • Words that have ei, not after a c (abaeile, abeigh): 2423
    • Words that have cie (abortifacient, ancient): 384

    So, among all ei or ie words in the Oxford English Dictionary, 5414 words follow the rule of thumb, and 2807 break the rule.
