First word in the topic title should be "It's", not "Its".

Also, "'I' before 'E' except after 'C' or when sounding like 'A' as in 'neighbor' or 'weigh'," has way too many exceptions to be a real rule.

Pretty sure the word sheik isn't of English origin therefore the typical rules of English such as I before E and all that don't exactly apply... I can't think of any examples but there are many words that don't follow common trends in English because we adopted them from other languages.

Your title: Its spelt Sheik not Shiek!!!!!!
The right way: It's spelled Sheik not Shiek!!!!!!
I'm sorry, but you fail on several levels.
1. "Its" is an error in punctuation (he forgot an apostrophe).
2. There is nothing wrong with the word "spelt" (go to dictionary.com).
3. You didn't insert a comma between "Sheik" and "not" (you fail at correcting).
4. It's not my title (I'm not the OP).

Have a nice day.
