If we don't realize there are exceptions to the 'i before e, except after c' rule and misspell a word like feisty as fiesty, for example, could we call that a vowel movement?
What if you have a lot of vowel movements, should you have an exam? Or only if it gets to be painful?

I think you should because it could turn into a full-blown irritable vowel syndrome.

What about the Great Vowel Shift?  That was a VM that lasted 300 years.

It was a relief when that was over, I can tell you.

I give it the space of time it takes me to read a Reader's Digest article.  If the movement isn't finished by then I take a metamucil.
