Mnemonic for remembering how to spell “mnemonic” It's easier for me to remember "the way it sounds plus an extra M" than to remember another mnemonic. |

Do you use “a” or “an” before acronyms? RPG, when spoken, sounds like "are pee jee," thus it's prefixed with an "an." |

“I'm right, aren't I?” It's good to note that "ain't" originally meant the same thing as "amn't" before its meaning shifted to mean "is not" and was eventually banned from formal English. Since we need something to fill its gap and amn't never caught on we say "aren't" instead. |

What words are commonly mispronounced by literate people who read them before they heard them? I remember being told once that it's supposed to sound like "what's this here" mumbled and slurred together. Such as if a confused person looked at the sauce, pointed to it, and said "what's this here sauce?" |
