Thanks for the Memories
I got a great idea from some responses to my last post, in which mnemonic devices came up. I encourage everyone to reply to this post with one or more of your favorite mnemonics. Here are a few of mine:
-- "These are the Stuarts. Here are their names: James, Charles, Charles, James." (Heard this one from ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) icarus_suraki)
-- "PaTHWaYS" To remember the surnames of the monarchs of England -- Plantagenet, Tudor, Hanover, Windsor, York, Stuart
-- "Roy G. Biv" To remember the colors of the rainbow in order -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
-- "TULIP" To remember the five primary tenets of Calvinism -- total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, perseverance of the saints
-- "Never go down an incline" or "No good dogs are impotent" To remember the noun cases for Old English -- nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental
--"FANBOYS" To remember the seven coordinating conjunctions in modern English -- "for," "and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet," and "so" (thanks to my being a grammar tutor)
-- the now obsolete "My very-educated mother just served us nine pies" To remember the planets of the solar system in order of distance from the sun -- Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
Now it's your turn. Thanks for the memories!
