I like his even better than mine.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-83167370942736952012008-04-28T16:56:00.000-04:002008-04-28T16:56:00.000-04:00Jeannelle, thanks for your contribution!

The spaces in the treble clef spell the word "face" (F-A-C-E) and the spaces in the bass clef can be remembered with All Cars Eat Gas or All Cows Eat Grass (A-C-E-G). Thanks for reminding me of those!<BR/><BR/>There's also TULIP to remember the Five Points of Calvinism, and there's COMOS to remember the Five Tribes of the Iroquois Nation, and there's....rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-25786118394683335532008-04-28T12:16:00.000-04:002008-04-28T12:16:00.000-04:00Oh, what an enjoyable, clever post!!

According to the film <I>Mary Poppins</I>, "you can say it backwards, which is docious-ali-expi-listic-fragi-cali-repus". Julie Andrews, has said that her husband at the time, Tony Walton, devised this backwards version of the word in which the main syllables are reversed, rather than the order of each letter, with the exception of the end part, 'repus', which is 'super' spelled backwards. In contrast, the <I>Mary Poppins</I> musical play's version of the song presents all the letters reversed (suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus), prounounced as sue-codiliap-exit-silly-garf-illa-creapus. What is abundantly clear is that the word never appeared in any of the books by P. L. Travers. (Thank you, wikipedia!)<BR/><BR/>There are also claims about the origin of the word that are not to be believed!rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-33790013309285194942008-04-27T10:42:00.000-04:002008-04-27T10:42:00.000-04:00Fascinating post, Mr. Bob!

Question: is the frequent use of parentheses considered bad writing form? Most folks tend to insert parenthetical comments into their verbal communications as a matter of course -- at least I do, all the time.<BR/>Hope you and the lady-wife have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.com
