Were you taking drugs in third grade? It would explain a lot more than
your spelling.

Well, "atheist" is an exception to the "i" before "e" rule of thumb.
Maybe aweewoweewo uses the rule in all cases.
Reminds me of the
"and I", not "and me"
rule, which people use in both the subject and object of sentences, eg:
"Chris and I met Wilkins at the museum." is correct, but
"Wilkins met Chris and I at the museum." is not
When I hear things like this, I think, "Would one say 'Wilkins
met I at the museum'?" No!
Sorry to drag Wilkins into this, btw.

It's more a case of "~ist" being a morpheme.
