Cooking With Richard

Yearn to be able to spell the word RHYTHM? Look no further than this easy to recall mnemonic: Russian Hippies Yearn To Have Money[*].

Currently, there are no hits on Google. So as far as I know, this was invented by someone at my school. I don’t know his name, but this aide-memoire has helped me on many occasions.

(Unfortunately Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (OILRIG) which was also claimed by a classmate of mine, turns out to be rather more commonly known.)

[*] It made a bit more sense in the 80s when (we assumed) Russian hippies suffering under communism were really rather poor.
