True.
But as I said earlier, you also have receive, pronounced 're-ceeve', and not 're-cyve'

So there are arguments to both pronounciations.

As well, my girlfriend has a professor with the last name Seifert. Pronounced See-fert.

The first time she mentioned Dr. Seifert in conversation, I was like "OMG U TTLY HV A FF CHARACTER AS A PROF OMG LOL WTF?!?!?!"
