    I just want something that helps people remember the difference between 'lose' and 'loose' as those words are COMPLETELY different. Drives me batty.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if you could just loose weight. Maybe pull a rlp cord and have your *kitten* fall off or something..

    Desert versus Dessert. I'd rather have two desserts, hence two S's.

    My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets.

    Self explanatory really.
    Well, now it's just My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming.

    I refuse to accept that reclassification. It ruins everything. Boo hiss.

    Mine was this:

    My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.

    Don't remember if our class made it up or if it actually came from somewhere, but I still remember it clearly!

    I remember something in music about learning the notes EGBDF: "Every Good Boy Does Fine". Also Schoolhouse Rock during Saturday morning cartoons. I can't say the preamble to the Constitution without singing it.

    Me too!! I like to show off by singing the preamble.

    I also remember ROY G BIV. Anyone else remember that one?

    Years later in Anatomy and Physiology class I learned a dirty neumonic(SP?) for the cranial nerves.

    I actually learned how to spell by a secret code language that my friends and I used. It was called op. You would basically spell out the word outloud using the letters' sounds, and add "op," to the end of every letter that's not a vowel. Example, my name: Sharie, you would say: Sop Hop ay Rop eye eee. Had to know how to spell to speak the language. I can now spell anything fairly quickly, and I attribute it mostly to that, and not so much to my teachers. lol!

    My mom used to do this for me for geography and history. She'd make associations that I'd always remember. Works awesome!

    When I was learning to ride a motorcycle, I used "kink' (kickstand, ignition switch, neutral, keys) so I would remember to put it neutral and not forget my keys.

    My high school biology teacher taught us a mnemonic for the order of the classifications in the taxonomic system:
    King Phillip (plays) Chess On Fine Grained Sand

    Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
