I taught myself - SepARate. We ARE separated (picture a couple standing apart) And deFINITE. I will stay convinced unto infinity (picture a stubborn man, arms crossed, sure he is right) Silly, but it worked for me. Calendar was another one. But I remember that just by saying it Cal-n-DAR in my head. |

I always connect "separate" with a "paring" knife.

I remember "definite" by thinking that if something is "definite" it has "FINITE" limits. Funny the tricks we use to help ourselves out.

That's the one I use too choco, though I sometimes don't think about it when typing in a rush.

Well, I for one categorically deny whatever rumor there may be.
![]() ![]() Tee Dump (oblique and gratuitous Boston Harbor reference) and I are not hand-in-sock; we're a hypergolic mixture. "Separate" is annoyingly elusive, isn't it? I tell myself two A's, two E's. That primary-school geographical spelling bugbear Mississippi yields to a rhythmic little dactylic chant: "Em I ess ess I ess ess I pee pee I." And "weird" of course is weird. Who'd've thought? "Seize" remains unexplained...

Well, because if it were "sieze" it would rhyme with "sieve," right?
