Big Elephants are Useful: A Compendium of Mnemonics and Idioms – S.J. Hartland
Big Elephants are Useful: A Compendium of Mnemonics and Idioms by S.J. Hartland is a handy book to have if like me you can never remember how to spell.
Do you know why big elephants are useful to Indians for unloading logs? Because it’s a BEAUTIFUL way to get a tricky spelling right. Have you ever lost an argument? Or was it an argument? If you can just remember I lost an ‘e’ in an argument, then you’ll never get it wrong again. Would you be upset if someone said you were a sandwich short of a picnic? Or could you be described as someone who fell asleep in a greenhouse?
