[YSK] You will learn much faster if you engage more of your brain at once - Lemmy.ca

If you’re assigned something to read, read it aloud to yourself. This engages not just your brain, but speaking and hearing, and your brain makes stronger pathways when more senses are engaged. Don’t buy flash cards, draw them yourself. This engages sight and abstraction., plus motor skill areas. Write your own notes, then read them aloud and highlight them yourself. So many parts of your brain make connections by doing this. Don’t just read. That’s not very helpful, you don’t have to study long if you study well, I think there’s a name for this, but I’m tired and will rely on Cunningham’s whatever.

When did “edit: <some change>” become “estimated time of arrival: <some change>” ?

…never?

ETA can mean “edited to add”

‘Edited to add’

It’s just tough for me not to read it as “estimated time of arrival”, and we already used “edit:” for this.

I guess I’m just like those people who couldn’t get over “MTG” meaning anything but Magic: The Gathering
