i before e (except after c) - old school ways of remembering stuff by Judy Parkinson
If you like mnemonics and acronyms, enjoy pithy rhymes, have trouble with spelling words like brocolli (whoops, sorry, broccoli), confuse practise or practice, there or their, can't convert from imperial to metric, don't know the star signs, stumble at maths, then you'll love this book crammed with old-fashioned memory aids; though you might find that memorising some of the aids is even harder than trying to remember whatever it is you are trying to remember.
