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

Maybe it's a secret push by Fury in order to keep SHIELD under cover? Planted men and women, paid to spell it wrong. Feeding false information to the public is hardly uncommon.

"Nick Fury, agent of SHEILD" . . . Hmmmm!

And because I must, there's always an exemption to a rule...

or weird words like weird.

This is why, in my head, it is always "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.A.F.T" -- Shit Happens All the Fucking Time.

It's certainly more descriptive of movie!Fury's day to day life.
