I can't remember the order of Jupiter through Neptune without the mnemonic. You get beyond the asteroid belt and I get totally lost.
Turn left at Europa.
The villain has a villa in the mountains.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The first mnemonic I learned was at the beginning of 1st grade:
"Lady, I owe you some sugar"
except the person saying it had a speach impediment, so he says it, "A E, I owe you some sugar." For remembering the vowels (except Y. Y is always the exception.)

Similarly, I have "Oh, CeeCee, you are red" for occurred.
Since I routinely fuck up this word, hopefully I will remember this. I'm slowly shortening the list of words I routinely misspell.

I had "one collar, two socks" to remember that there's one "c" and two "s's" in "necessary."
And a friend's SIG was "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms" for a while.

They're the ones that aren't consonants. Next you'll be telling me they have a mnemonic for the alphabet.
