    Go home, Teacher, you're drunk…

    You talking about 'acronyms'? Some game to develop memorable acronyms?

    I don't even know what I am asking.

    I'm curious... which prepositions are you talking about?
    Presumably they are somehow different from other prepositions if you need such a rule. Is it ones which always take the dative in, say, German, or something?

    Ladies and gentlemen, you may be paying the OP up to €60k per annum, assuming s/he doesn't have any role in school management, in which case it's probably a lot more.

    Just thought that's worth mentioning.

    This is a resistance colour code mnemonic we discovered whilst studying for Junior Cert technology...

    An Acrostic Mnemonic = an Acronic?

    Examples: how to tune a guitar - Every American Daughter Gets Babies Easily (E A D G B A)

    The list of French verbs that take "etre" instead of "avoir" in the past tense is Mrs Vandertamp (google it)

    So your list of prepositions...must be memorable, brief, funny, preferably rude.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,472 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    I just thought of the game.

    An long lost echo of hate finds it way to the present day.

    Let it finally be said.


    Thats not even a proper fvcking sentence. How the fvck is that supposed to mean something. Thats fvcking meaningless.
    "Brackets of multiplication division addition subtraction" - that does not work in the English language. It does not communicate anything. Its a fvcking mystery code.

    I may as well say

    CDSBHT - Car of drive shop bananas home television

    SOSHJK - Sock of shoe hat jacket keys

    BOBSSW - Belt of button sit sht wipe

    Dont stand there and smugly say 'oooh bomdas rule' with a half retarded smile on your ugly face, then say brackets of multiplication division addition subtraction like thats some fvcking cogent instruction - its meaningless drivel you worthless assclown, you're sht at teaching you cvnt, all of you were. It wasn't even me, it was you talent-less assclowns all along.

    Off of go fvck bastard babble mumble.
    English of learn coherent make sentence.
    Space of taking up stop real teacher for.

    (had to be done)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,733 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    BOMDAS is a mnemonic to help people remember the order of mathematical operations in which equations must be processed, I think.

    brackets, orders, multiplication (or) division, addition (or) subtraction.

    No idea what the OP wants though.

    First you do the part of the sum that is in brackets, then anything that is OF...(like, one-third of 6) and so on.

    Handy little list if only one could remember it!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭kissmequick


    O.P. can you not just think of a memorable acronym yourself like for whatever yer trying to teach? I don't understand your question. What are you trying to teach them as a matter of interest?

    BODMAS, BOMDAS, BIMDAS and DAMNUS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 887 ✭✭✭mengele


    sorry for my unclear post but yes it was acronyms that I was looking for. it was hard to explain what I was looking for but ye guessed it.

    I was going to try and do out something to make learing the réamhfhocail shímplí in irish where the noun preceding take a "h" or the ones that take nothing a bit easier.

    for example de, do, faoi, mar, ó, roimh, trí and um ann take a seimhiu (h)
    then ag, as, chuig, go, go dtí, le, seachas, thar don't take anything.

    if there was an acronym made out for each of these sets it might make it easier for them to learn and remember for more than a week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭littlecat


    20 years ago I learned in school that ar, de, do, faoi, gan, idir, mar, ó, thar, roimh, trí and um take a "h". We just chanted off the list and it stayed in.

    Also had a list of irregular verbs - abair, beir, clois, déan, faigh, feic, ith, tar, tabhair, téigh, tá.

    Now it may be possible that our ability to learn and chant was proportional to our fear of the múinteoir...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 568 ✭✭✭mikeymouse


    give the students the words ar. do, etc .............. and get] them to make a rap tune , or whatever the're into.
