Mnemonics to remember - what are yours?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Fran:
I learned dessert had two "S"s with this:  second supper.

Jeff Wrangler:
I learned the same one as Paul for how to spell separate.

For the months, I never did know what came after "all the rest have 31, except February."  ;D

Let's not forget the one for the planets, in order from the sun: "Mary's violet eyes make John stay up nights permanently." Except, of course, we now have to drop the "permanently."  :'(  >:(

southendmd:

Yep, Paul - this one got me thru freshman physics...along with ROY G. BIV which helps you remember the colors in the rainbow...not sure our font colors coordinate properly.

Jeff Wrangler:
And then there is always:

"'I' before 'e,' except after 'c,' or when sounded as 'a,' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh.'"
