“Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Soup” is often cited as a non-vulgar method for teaching students to memorize the taxonomic classification of system

Other variations tend to start with the mythical king, with one author noting “The nonsense about King Philip, or some ribald version of it, has been memorized by generations of biology students”.[6]

Differentiating stalactites from stalagmites

The ‘mites go up and the ‘tites come down.

When one has ants in one’s pants, the mites go up and the tights come down.[7]:66

(In a strict scientific sense, a mite is not an ant, although “mite” in common speech can refer to any small creature)

Stalactites hang tight, hang down like tights on a line; stalagmites might bite (if you sit on them), might reach the roof.[7]:66

Tights hang from the Ceiling, and Mites crawling around on the Ground

You need might to do push-ups (from the floor). You must hold tight doing chin-ups (off the ceiling).

Stalactites are on the ceiling. Stalagmites are on the ground.[7]:66

Stalactites cling tight to the ceiling; stalagmites might reach the ceiling

Languages

Characteristic sequence of letters

I always comes before E (but after C, E comes before I)

In most words like friend, field, piece, pierce, mischief, thief, tier, it is “i” which comes before “e”.

But on some words with c just before the pair of e and i, like receive, perceive, “e” comes before “i”.

This can be remembered by the following mnemonic,

I before E, except after C

But this is not always obeyed as in case of weird and weigh, weight, height, neighbor etc. and can be remembered by extending that mnemonic as given below

I before E, except after C

Or when sounded “A” as in neighbor, weigh and weight

Or when sounded like “eye” as in height

And “weird” is just weird

Another variant, which avoids confusion when the two letters represent different sounds instead of a single sound, as in atheist or being, runs

When it says ee

Put i before e

But not after c

Where ever there is a Q there is a U too

Most frequently u follows q. e.g.:

Que, queen, question, quack, quark, quartz, quarry, quit, Pique, torque, macaque, exchequer.

Hence the mnemonic:

Where ever there is a Q there is a U too[21]

(But this is violated by some words; see:List of English words containing Q not followed by U)

Letters of specific syllables in a word

BELIEVE

CEMETERY

PRINCIPAL

The principal is your pal

Distinguishing between similar words

Difference between Advice & Advise, Practice & Practise, Licence & License etc.

Advice, Practice, Licence etc. (those with c) are nouns

and Advise, Practise, License etc. are verbs.

One way of remembering this is that the word ‘noun’ comes before the word ‘verb’ in the dictionary;

likewise ‘c’ comes before ‘s’,

so the nouns are ‘practice, licence, advice’ and the verbs are ‘practise, license, advise’

Here or Hear

We hear with our ear

Complement and Compliment

complement adds something to make it enough

compliment puts you in the limelight

Principle and Principal

Your principal is your pal

menial work is boring but it’s mean (-ial) to complain

Their, There and They’re

Theirs is not mine even though ‘I’ is in it

There is where we’ll be.

They’re is a contraction of ‘they are’

“stationary” / “stationery”

‘A’ vs ‘E’

(i usually default to ‘e’ as in ‘er’)

(think “paper”)

(‘a’ as in ‘car’)

Stationery contains er and so does paper;

stationary (not moving) contains ar and so does car

A for “at rest”, e for envelope

Transportation[edit]

Marine[44][45]

“Red, Right, Return”

reminds the skipper entering (“returning to”) an IALA region B port to keep red markers to the starboard of the vessel.

Conversely the opposite convention exists in IALA region A ports, where a similar (but significantly different) mnemonic of “Red on the Right Returning To Sea” can be used.

The phrase “there’s always some red port (wine) left” is used to remember the basics in seafaring. “Red” refers to the color of navigation lights on the port (left) side of a vessel (as opposed to green on the starboard side).

“Nuclear Restrictions Constrain Fishing and Sailing, People Say”
