Talk:List of mnemonics

Remove?

I think that the "stalactites - hang low" should be removed as it is not a mnemonic. Cr6564 (talk) 04:48, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes. It doesn't look. But it really is. I found it in http://ict4us.com/r.kuijt/en_stalactites.htm. It was supposed to be stalactites and a mnemonic for tights hanging down; As these type of rocks (or mineral) hang down. I have editted it and was at-once pleased only to be shocked to see that the same mnemonic appeared twice. They are at subsections : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mnemonics#Geology and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mnemonics#Geology_2.Valchemishnu 16:33, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Someone please solve this problem. It should be seen either only at the section "Phrasal mnemonics" or only at "middle letter mnemonics".Valchemishnu 16:33, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Cleaned

External link to "list of medical mnemonics" is a redirect to a page selling books about mnemonics (spam)

I agree... so have replaced with a better link.CustardJack

I think I put that link in originally; at the time it was an interesting site but alas, things change. Thanks for changing it. Uranographer 07:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

restored

restored, since removed from Wikiquote - needs sourcing, which should be possible. DGG (talk) 14:48, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Early American Presidents

When I was in elementary school learning the Presidents up to Lincoln, I was taught "Will a Jolly Man Make a Jolly Visitor, Harry? Tyler poked Taylor, Fillmore pierced Buchanan" which yields Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan. Thought this was worth adding.

Is there are a mnemonic for the 50 US states?CharlesTheBold (talk)

"saw and axe" mnemonic"

This mnemonic isn't very good and doesn't make sense. Removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.240.229.3 (talk) 14:26, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
