I really think that maybe running a spell check or checking google or looking at a screencap or poster so that you correctly spell the name of the badass covert operations headed by Nick Fury wouldn't be very hard, but since apparently it totally is, here is a handy mnemonic device to help you out:

I before E
except after C
or in words with an "ay"
like neighbour and weigh

In other words, there is no such organization as "SHEILD".

Hope that was helpful,
Ely

or weird words like weird.

I had edited that in and then removed it, as it wasn't hugely relevant and there are bunch of exceptions.
