What are some words that you have or had troubles spelling and made up funny ways to help remember them?
Not sure if this actually counts for the question, but I had a friend who called the Hittites “hitty-titties” when we had a Bible class together, as a way to remember them for a test. I still think of that whenever I come across the word Hittite.
That's a good one! Maybe not quite on top, but still a good answer. I think it'd be like how they teach us directions as kids: Never Eat Shredded Wheat, Never Eat Soggy Weiners,.. Just looked up how others remember this, and some of them are NSFW. 😂

For medication names, I'll pronounce every vowel like the letter name, so A is "eigh", E is "ee", I is "eye", O is "Oh", U is "you" and Y is "why".
So Ibuprofen is "eye-byoo-proh-feen"
So Ibuprofen is "eye-byoo-proh-feen"
