I've found an excellent general purpose mnemonic.
If I want to remember something - names, faces, facts, figures, birthdays, credit card numbers - I just fucking remember them.

How awfully simplistic of you.
I always devise some kind of hopelessly convoluted system that endeavours to make me look a lot more intellectual than I really am.

It's almost as if I'm incapable of appreciating the merits of my own brainpower and have to boost my self-esteem by needlessly confusing everyone and deliberately blowing up the simplest of tasks into a great big mess.

More the sound of music
than a spoonfull of sugar etc.

"Spoonful" only has one "L".
I remember this by breaking down each word in to the component letters, and then assigning a numerical value to it, based on it's position in the alphabet i.e. A=1, B=2 etc. I then add all of the numbers and remember the total for that word, so "spoonful" equals 118.

You can then check if your spelling is correct by applying the reverse to the word you are writing, and checking that the numerical value matches the one you have memorized. If you'd have followed this simple system, you would have realised "spoonfull" is 130, which is wrong.

You 64.

What's a 64?
I make him a 58.

They're both variations on the same theme.
