We had some good ways to remember spelling when I was at school. Maybe others will remember them too. Like to spell "because," you have to remember "Big Elephants Can't Always Use Small Exits."
There was one to remember the colours in a rainbow, too:
Richard (Red)
Of (Orange)
York (Yellow)
Gave (Green)
Battle (Blue)
In (Indigo)
Vain (Violet)
The brings to mind the color code we learned in high school for electronics resistors:
Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly
black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white.
Not very acceptable today, though!
This is the only one I've used to remember something in school: My Very Experience Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto in the right order (distance from the sun).
FUBAR is good; related to SNAFU, but worse! LOL
Good one.
Meanwhile, I stumbled across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_m … lang_terms
I learned it with an "I" after the first "T" : TINSTAAFL (There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch)
For this kind of stuff, there is a lot of activity on the topical forums. Go there
Based on my conclusions these last several years, I respect you.
Haha, and me you. That's why I reply to most of your posts even if I don't want to directly contribute to a topic But you would definitely get a lot of responses on the topical forums.
Not on this one. If he changed it to "What is your favorite acronym for the midterm elections?" or "How does your favorite acronym encourage illegal immigration?" he would have all kinds of comments.
Of course if he were really looking for a lot of participation he could ask "What is Trumps favorite acronym?"
I am not going to like the real-world answer.
From Saddam Hussein or George W. Bush´s perspective?
A suddenly missing neighbor. I strongly suspect medical.
