“Our mission is to help create a new generation of students
and professionals with a genius memory!” - Igor Lacerda - Author
Hi, I hope you’re having fun learning the LSM technique. In addition to the
technique itself, periodically I’m going to be sharing with you additional
helpful information. This one is not related to the LSM technique, but in my
research I've found some interesting things and this spelling technique is one
of them.
As you might know, if we are to remember anything with certainty, we must
use our long-term memory. When it comes to spelling, usually we have a
problem with just a few words, so, of course we'll only use the following
technique with the words that apply to us. I also wanted to remind you to
always use your imagination, no matter how ridiculous the thoughts are, as
long as it works.
In the past, I personally had a problem spelling the word anniversary - is it spelled with double N or double
S? But now, by using the following technique, I will never doubt how to spell it again. (I'm not going to explain
how I remember the spelling because it's not going to make any sense to you, but for me it works! )
Anyway, here are some examples of words commonly misspelled: (use the same method for your words).
Ache: The middle letters cause the problem. Remember the first letter of each word in this sentence: "Aches
Can Hurt Everywhere."
Abundance: The problem with this word comes with not being sure of the ending. Is it -ance or -
ence?Remember the mnemonic: "There is an abundance of people who can DANCE." (AbunDANCE)
Believe: Is it spelled with and -ie or -ei? Remember: "Believe has a LIE in it."
Exceed: Is it spelled -eed or ede?Remember: "Don't exceed the SPEED limit."Therefore" EXCEED
Familiar: Sometimes people misspell the last four letters. Remember: "That LIAR is someone
famiLIAR"
Skiing: The problem comes with knowing to put two Is in the middle. Remember: "Skiing has two ski
poles in the middle."
Address: One D or two? Remember: " I will ADD you to my address book."
Defendant: The last vowel is the problem. is it ant or ent? Remember: "At a picnic, it's hard to
defend an ANT." Therefore: Defendant
Equivalent: The problem usually comes with the last two syllables. Remember: "Is ALE the
equivalent of beer?"
February: Even though the word is commonly mispronounced, there's and R after the B.
Remember: "Brr, it's cold in February."
So whenever you comes across a word you have trouble spelling, you can come up with
something totally unique about that word and remember the correct spelling. Remember: If you have
to learn something, do it once and do it right - use your long-term memory.
