    For the Desert/Dessert thing I remember it like this:
    If I was stranded on a Desert I'd only want to do it once (one S)
    If I had a Dessert I'd happily have two (two S's)

      I think of the S’s like water sideways and there is more water in desserts than in the desert
      Edit: Now that I’ve typed it out it sounds really complicated but it works for me 🤷

      @combatwombat8581 Před 2 lety +5

      But if you never wanted to be stranded in a desert then desert would have no s's (deert)
      And dessert would have many s's (dessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssert)

      My 3rd grade teacher always said dessert with two "s" is Strawberry Shortcake. Desert with one "s" is for sand. Still use it to this day.

      DAD is an acronym that stands for: Dead, Absent, or (being a) Dad. That is the best way to remember the possible locations of your father. He’s either dead, absent from your life and mind, or he’s doing normal dad things like grilling or yelling at you for getting a B- on a test EVEN THOUGH I’M TRYING AS HARD AS I CAN.

    The power of mnemonics! I can still remember "Sir, I send a rhyme excelling in sacred truth and rigid spelling. Numerical sprites elucidate for me the lexicon's dull weight" (pi to 20 decimal places) from several decades ago. This is the first time I've recalled it since then.

      There's a poem written by M. Keith based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." The entire poem gives 740 digits of pi. Words with ten letters represent the digit 0, and those with 11 or more digits are taken to represent two digits.
      Poe, E.: Near a Raven. Midnights so dreary, tired and weary.
      Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.
      During my rather long nap-the weirdest tap!
      An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor.
      'This,' I whispered quietly, 'I ignore.'
      Perfectly, the intellect remembers: the ghostly fires, a glittering ember.
      Inflamed by lightning's outbursts, windows cast penumbras upon this floor.
      Sorrowful, as one mistreated, unhappy thoughts I heeded:
      That inimitable lesson in elegance--Lenore--
      Is delighting, exciting... nevermore.

    I spell grey with an E and an A depending on how it's used. As a color it's grey and as a mood it's gray.

    Another way to remember if dessert has 1 s or 2 just think u want more dessert like two Ice cream scoops instead of one that’s why dessert is with two s.
    Hopefully that made sense 😬
