Seriously people, it's S H I E L D.

The rule of I before E except after C, or in weird cases such as when it sounds like "eye" (eg either, neither) still applies, even if it's in all caps. This is basic English language spelling.

Even if you don't want to believe me on that one, the acronym is for the following:

Supreme
Homeland
Intervention,
Enforcement, and
Logistics
Division.

(Brought to you by far too many fics where the acronym for the bureau in question is spelled with the key vowels in the wrong order).

Crossposted to [community profile] fanficrants. Apologies for any duplication which occurs.

And the rule only really applies when "ie" sounds like "i" anyway.
