Its something to do with musical notes, and treble clef, or something like that anyway (it was over 25 years ago)0 -
The stalagmite/stalagtite thing is interesting because it's not acutally stalaGtite - it's stalaCtite.
The way I taught my kids the difference was stalaGmite with a 'g' for ground
and stalaCtite with a 'c' for ceiling....0 -
I before E, except after C.

Stalagmites push up from the floor with all their might

Yes it is but the key is you don't kneed the K to remember it....:o)0 -
But you've spelt stalctities wrong like everybody else in this thread, Bing! I repeat it's not stalaGtites...it's with a 'c' !
I do indeed remember your n- o- r- w- i -c -h, though Bing - although that one contains a mispelling, too - knickers off ready when I come home, so it should really have been korwich all these years...0 -
