@WoozleWuzzle My first station in the Navy we had a mainframe server that had to be shut down and powered on with a specific button sequence that were labeled with letters spelling out:

A-LL
S-AILORS
L-OVE
T-O
E-AT
P-IZZA

@WoozleWuzzle I don't have to say the mnemonic but I do have to mentally picture a compass rose pointing in a known direction.

@WoozleWuzzle I swap east and west in my head often. I blame growing up near the east coast of the US and then moving to the west coast.

@WoozleWuzzle you're not alone. I use the German version "nie ohne Seife waschen" (never wash without soup) for Norden, Osten, Süden, Westen
