    Lettice? Is that a common name in your country? Since these are Murican lakes, I suggest a good Christian name like Linda.

      Is this the one actually taught in schools in the Midwest? I didn’t grow up here so I never had to learn them.

        I was just given a map to memorize without mnemonics in WI, iirc.

          Yeah, I grew up in Michigan and w didn’t have a mnemonic for it in my school. There are five, figure it out.

        A mnemonic is usually a way to memorize the order of a group of hard-to-remember words or phrases. You come up with a set of easy to remember words, or a phrase that starts with the same first letter of the harder to memorize words. For example, Every Good Boy Does Fine is a mnemonic to help people remember the lines on a musical note staff (E, G, B, D, F). For most people, it is easier to remember the phrase “Every Good Boy Does Fine” than to remember E, G, B, D, F so if you can remember the mnemonic, it makes it easier to remember the things that you’re actually trying to remember.

        In the picture, the mnemonic is “Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly” which is supposed to be used to help someone remember the great Lakes. However, notice how every word in the mnemonic starts with the same letter (L) and is used to memorize the Lakes which also all start with L. This makes the mnemonic pretty useless.

        A proper mnemonic for the lakes would be something like “Super Heros Must Eat Oats” (Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario).

          Every Acid Dealer Gets Busted Eventually. It’s the only way I remember guitar strings…

          Okay I get it now. I thought it was supposed to help remember the lakes and thought I was oblivious. I was simply oblivious in a different way.

    I learned recently that Michigan and Huron are technically one lake, the largest fresh water lake in the world.

      Lake Superior holds 10% of the Earth’s surface fresh water. The Great lakes hold 21% of the Earth’s surface fresh water.

      Yep, the Mackinac bridge is wild. The water moves different directions on different days.

    From a distance, the image of the great lakes looks like a dog taking a dump.
