Mnemonic:

If  you end up  with    DOTS    on  your    NECK,   there   must    be  a   STORY   to  tell.


  • The old lady kept the motorcycle gang thoroughly amused with anecdote after anecdote
    about her cute little dog.

  • Alvare told an anecdote about the time Jessica got her big toe stuck in a bowling ball.

  • The vice president set the crowd at ease with a touching anecdote about his childhood
    desire to become a public servant.

  • To say that the evidence of life on other planets is merely anecdotal is to say that we
    haven’t captured any aliens, but simply have heard a lot of stories from people claiming to
    have been kidnapped by flying saucers.

Mnemonics:


  • Making an OMELETTE for breakfast on a school day would be an
    ANOMALY. (No time!) • ANOMALY sounds like ABNORMALITY.
