The post mentioning mnemonic devices reminds me of my teachers in grade
school who made such things as remembering the diff. in spelling "stationary
and stationery" EASY. The teacher said" LETTER" has only e's in it for
vowels, so the word that MEANS "letters" (stationery) has the E and not the A
in it. Also, you want MORE dessert but don't want more DESERT (The "s" is
what you want MORE of, apparently) but it worked. I wonder if teachers still
teach little mnemonic devices. They sure work wonders. (I see the
stationery/stationary mistake made all the time, though!).
