What I find incredibly stupid are the mnemonics* some people use to
remember the main compass points. Silliness like "Never Eat Soggy
Waffles" or "Never Eat Sour Watermelon" or "Naughty Elephants Squirt
Water".

As if learning / remembering "North, South, East, and West" is *so* difficult.
:-\

* I find all mnemonics really stupid - you're supposed to remember
some silly sentence with no connection to the original thing you're
trying to learn / remember in the first place!!

I'm not so sure everybody *would* find it easy!

The mnemonic is “Never Eat Shredded Wheat.” The rhyme
makes it easier to remember.

That doesn’t even rhyme! Of course it’s harder to remember.
