Talk:Mnemonic major system

message: Sun Microsystems has applied for a patent on using a computer program to generate mnemonics for memorizing 128 encryption keys.  Here I am noticing VERY LOUDLY that 128 bits is just about what it takes to code all of the number on a five dollar quick pick, i.e. the Nth permuation in 40 million or more permuations to the fifth power.  How's that for the "locker combination" or "other pattern of numbers referred to?

Is it important to take note that the Sun Patent was applied for in June 2006, but the GPL'ed source code referred to on this page dates back to 2003 or 2004?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.57.227 (talk) 06:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The major system is typically used to memorize numbers, but it may also be used to memorize the definitions of abstract words. I posted a description of how this works to my blog at the address below:

I'm wondering if this should be added as an external link. Since the blog post belongs to me, there are no copyright issues. Also, I do not attempt to use my blog for any kind of commercial purpose. However, in keeping with Wikipedia guidelines, there is a conflict of interest if I attempt to add the link myself, since the blog belongs to me.

message: There is a major contradiction in the "history" section of this article. It claims that the major system was taught until the 16th century, then later says the major system was invented 300 years ago. Let99 (talk) 06:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The use of the major system with the peg system is described in the introduction so this section is superfluous and should be removed. For now, I have added to reference to the peg system.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.204.174 (talk) 04:53, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Commonly associated letters:
sc (in fascist and schedule)
The word "schedule" has a really ambiguous way of pronunciating it, which is why I don't think it's a pedagogical example and should be removed/replaced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.226.255.150 (talk) 17:21, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I have to question whether mentioning Gregg shorthand at all is justified. The only citation given is a musing on a coincidence noted by the blogger Chris Aldrich who has no special expertise in a subject related to either Gregg shorthand or the mnemonic major system. There are no valid references given in his blog post, and if there are, then they should be used directly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.235.71 (talk) 13:51, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Surely a more correct (if not more common) association of soft th is with 8, especially in a Cockney or other British working-class accent? After all, in such an accent "I think these things are..." is often rendered as "I fink dese fings are..."; although I agree that it is correct to associate hard th (aka dh, dth or eth) with 1, which (as the example I gave shows) is also consistent with such an accent. — 2A02:C7D:419:2500:C04E:A5CA:373C:544 (talk) 03:56, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Zero begins with z (and /z/). Upper case S and Z, as well as lower case s and z, have zero vertical strokes each, as with the numeral 0. The alveolar fricatives /s/ and /z/ form a voiceless and voiced pair.
What does the /z/ mean that z does not mean. Sorry if this is a really uneducated thing to be asking I just don't know where else to ask.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brettwardo (talk • contribs) 05:08, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: "z" refers to the letter in the alphabet, whereas "/z/" refers to the sound and is written in the notation of the International Phonetic Alphabet. -Stelio (talk) 09:28, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
