What's wrong with that, anyway? Every single time I spell "accommodate"
(not all that rare of a word), I remember my 9th grade English teacher's
story about Om and Mo going on a date. I still *use* that trick. I don't
memorize everything, I often continue to use the mnemonics to lead me to the
answer. Doesn't affect my spelling in any way (except to help make it
correct), and it gives me a cute little anecdote to tell people on Klingon
Language Mailing Lists.
