MNEMONICS
The Oxford dictionary defines a mnemonic as "of or designed to aid the memory". The word is derived from the name of the Greek goddess of memory - Mnemosyne. You see the Greeks thought so much of the ability to memorise that they worshipped it in the form of a goddess. I have covered the sophisticated mnemonic techniques elsewhere but each of the items below is a simple popular aid to memory that we can all use straight away.
Do you use any mnemonics to help you remember anything? If so, why not e-mail me. Please note, however, that with an exceptionally busy schedule it isn't possible to reply to everyone who writes :)
It's planned to add further mnemonics in due course, either here or within the new "Feature Articles" area of this site.
