Rite I is the formal, older style: It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks -- while Rite II is the modern version: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks...
Most often you see Rite I and Rite II contrasts in the LP. "For thine is the kingdom and the power" is Rite I; the modern version is "For the kingdom, and the power, and the glory are yours". The thing to note is that this isn't set in stone; I was raised in Rite II churches but some use Rite I during the Eurcharist for its more formal language.
And YES damn it I CAN still quote massive sections of the Nicene Creed. You hear this crap nearly every Sunday for the first eighteen years of your life and IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.
