Another posting on resistor codes gave me an idea. We all learned certain mnemonics in school and it is amazing to me how well they are still remembered. Some have changed over the years. I though it might be fun to list some of them here for all to enjoy. A few I remember are:
My Dear Aunt Sally for the order of arithmetic operations, multiply, divide, add, subtract. This has been altered to Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally to include Parentheses and Exponent.
My Very Elderly Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies for the order of distance of the planets from the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Of course, this is the old order that I was taught before we all learned that Pluto was not a planet. I understand that the new mnemonic is My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles.
Come Over, Sit Down, Maybe Play Poker, Three Jacks Calls Two Queens for the geologic periods Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, Quaternary
HOMES for the Great Lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior
Do Kings Play Chess On Fine Green Silk for biological classification Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
