A mnemonic device is a method for remembering information. It might combine chunks of information into a format such as an acronym, a jingle, or a phrase. For example, the acronym HOMES stands for the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario,
Michigan, Erie, and Superior. A well-known jingle for spelling is "I before E except after C or when sounded like a as in
neighbor or weigh." A famous phrase used to remember whether to set a clock ahead or back for Daylight Saving Time is
"Spring forward, fall back." People often make up their own mnemonic devices for remembering things, including grocery
lists.
