Rule of thumb

From Teflpedia

A rule of thumb is a rule (and in our context we’re talking about a language rule) that tends to work most of the time but is not strictly applicable to every situation.

Examples of rules of thumb include “add plural -s to make plurals,” “I before E except after C,” and “Germanic verbs can undergo dative shift.”
