Hey guys! (long time no see)

I am in a brief interlude between climbing endeavours, so I haven’t been practicing mnemonics for a while, but, this time, I’d like to take something with me to memorise. Since I still haven’t come up with any 0-99 list, I’d like to do so now. However, I am facing a lot of difficulties to finish it up. Could you help me? Better names than the ones I got are also much appreciated.

The list may include any cartoon character, super-hero or “science fiction” movie characters. Hopefully, what I got might be useful for some of you too. This is what I have so far (numbers refer to the first two consonant sounds, not initials):

0 Sue (Invisible Woman)

16 Dash - The Incredibles
19 Dobby - The house elf from Harry Potter

3

51 Lady - Lady and the Tramp
98 Buffy - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Hmmm, Why is Hulk 45? (For me, 45 is Ariel - The Little Mermaid - i.e., Disney cartoon)

Great, Tarnation!

Thanks a lot! I’ll use all of them.

Don’t you pronounce the “h” like an “r”? Like in hammer? And then there is the “l” before “k”. 45, no?

Ariel is great too, but Hulk is way more memorable to me :slight_smile:

Thanks again!

All my best,
M.

That’s interesting. I never think of H sounding like R. For me there is no connection between these sounds.

That said, I have noticed some people coming from a different language background treating them as similar.

Funny how our perception of language works. As it happens, I do pronounce H, but it has no associated numeric value within the major system for me. To me, Hulk is pure 57.

:slight_smile:

It’s really an interesting list. I am taking some of it for substitute words in my major system. Thank you. But sorry as I am not much of a comics reader. But I do love movies. Sorry again. No suggestions

So, for you, rat is 41, but hat is just pure 1, right?

I wonder if that’s how most native English-speakers see a beginning “h”, i.e., as NOT belonging to the same “phonetic class” of “r”.

That’s really interesting…

Best!

Hey suryasekhar!

I am glad it was useful somehow :slight_smile:

Best!

As far as I know, most native English speakers would not perceive the H as similar to R.

I am a North American accustomed to a fairly standard variety of the dialect. Not sure whether that exactly qualifies me to be the spokesperson for the majority of native English speakers.

I have noticed Portuguese speakers often associate Rs and Hs, as did a Mandarin-speaking Chinese gentleman I knew who used to teach me French. Actually, he substituted H for the French R common in Montreal, not the English R that I use…

Interesting topic, indeed.

I took 29 of them and I think they will solve many of my problems. Thanks again. Great list. Superheroes are memorable
