	    Einstein is NOT an exception to the "i before e" rule.
	    The rule is only applicable to English words, and Einstein
	    is cleary not in that category. The German rule is that
	    "ei" is pronounced "i", and "ie" is pronounced "e".

	    So let's keep our exceptions limited to ENGLISH words.
