MNENOMIC DEVICE
AN EASY WAY TO REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL CHICAGO IS: MM
CHICKEN IN A CAR,
AND THE CAR CAN'T GO.
THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL CHICAGO.
Submitter comment:
THE INFORMANT FIRST HEARD OF THIS AROUND 1970 WHEN SHE
WAS YOUNG AND COULD NOT SPELL CHICAGO. MNEMONIC DEVICES ARE IN THE
CATEGORY WITH RIDDLES AND MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A VERBAL PUZZLE.
THEY AID IN REMEMBERING DIFFICULT FACTS.
