# --description--
Given a word or sentence, return a corrected version where every word follows the "I before E except after C" rule.
- If a word contains `"ei"` not preceded by `"c"`, replace it with `"ie"`.
- If a word contains `"ie"` preceded by `"c"`, replace it with `"ei"`.
- All other words are left unchanged.
# --hints--
`iBeforeE("beleive")` should return `"believe"`.
```js
assert.equal(iBeforeE("beleive"), "believe");
```
`iBeforeE("recieve")` should return `"receive"`.
```js
assert.equal(iBeforeE("recieve"), "receive");
```
`iBeforeE("we recieved a breif")` should return `"we received a brief"`.
```js
assert.equal(iBeforeE("we recieved a breif"), "we received a brief");
```
`iBeforeE("she beleived the friendly niece could percieve the greif")` should return `"she believed the friendly niece could perceive the grief"`.
```js
assert.equal(iBeforeE("she beleived the friendly niece could percieve the greif"), "she believed the friendly niece could perceive the grief");
```
`iBeforeE("we recieved relief after the theif gave us a breif piece of feirce deceit")` should return `"we received relief after the thief gave us a brief piece of fierce deceit"`.
```js
