h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Great article! I really enjoyed it. All the information will be stored carefully to be reproduced in pub quizzes etc.

The acronym lends itself to improvement, I believe. I wonder if anyone else has thought of one?

Getting in there before anybody else does

TGCFAOQTCD is not an acronym, its a mnemonic

Acroynms, like Radar have to be pronounceable

D'oh, you're right - sorry.
OK then have you got a mnemonic?

vestboy, an easy mistake to make and it was unfair of the turner of egg timers or whatever he is called to pick you up on it like that. He knew what you meant!

I like the idea, so here's my Nmemonic!

Those Gentlemen Concerned Feel Awful Over Queuing To Collect Debts

In this modern world there is too much confustion between acroynms, mnemonic, and initialisations and soon the very barriers of language will fall !!

Besides people are being pedantic at me and I need to vent some nit picking elsewhere

I'm quite happy for you to point it out. No harm done. In fact if we're trading pedantry isn't a mnemonic the phrase that is formed rather than the list of letters?

Actually, I wrote this article to support my Entry on 'Categorised Mnemonics', which is at A2786321.

If you're in the mood for writing mnemonics, a good mnemonic should have some connection with what it is you wish to remember. A good example is the one for memorising the solar system planets:

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto).

I love it!

Quite good; it's definitely getting closer to what's required.
