    Default Memorable Mnemonics - Ends 21st June



    In school I used a lot of mnemonics (i.e. a certain way of remembering things via poems, rhymes etc.) to remember certain things. The one I used in school in order to remember the planets was "My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nachos" as each word began with the letter of the planet in the correct order.

    What I'd like you to do is post a mnemonic that would help you remember something.
    You can either create your own or find one online.

    The most creative will win!

    Prize: 5 credits + 10 rep

    I used to always spell because with a mnemonic; Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants -- it was just programmed into my head to run through that mnemonic before writing the word.

    Never Eat Shredded Wheat is programmed into my head even to this day. I still double check with that mnemonic before talking about directions, despite logically knowing west is left and east is right.

    Good Boys Deserve Football Always -- GBDFA -- helps me to remember the notes in the bass clef of musical notation. I remember the rest through other methods, such as literally speaking the combination of letters as a word. The pronounce the notes on the treble clef, EGBDF, as Egg-Buh-Doff

    I can't think of many other mnemonics I use. Before spelling onomatopoeia, I literally sound out the last bit as poh-e-ah. Does that count as a mnemonic? I think it does.

    The word Beautiful

    - In the movie, Bruce Almighty goes, "Well this is B-E-A-U-TIFUL" and I remembered the letter orders to spelling that word every since.


    ALSO
    I learned one for remembering the planets in order:
    - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

    So my elementary teacher taught me to say it like this:
    - My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas


    Now, tell me if you are ever going to forget the pattern for remembering the planets.

    I used to always use Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl to remember how to spell banana when I was younger.

    '**** is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s'

    When I was in primary school I got given a way of spelling necessary because I could never spell it and it was

    Never eat cucumber, eat salad sandwiches and remain young. Which doesn't really make much sense but it worked because it was weird.
