0 Guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 A quick Google search shows that LIS is right, but I don't quite get the purpose. The phrase "In showing a painting to probably a critical or venomous lady, anger dominates. O take guard, or she leaves and shouts." does indeed have 21 words. But, isn't it easier to remember "21" than to memorize that phrase? I have used mnemonics many times back in my classroom days, but I thought that the point was to use something easily remembered to prod your brain to recall something more difficult to remember. Not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
