I’ll never understand these approaches to learning. They require remembering the phrase, and then require remembering how the phrase translates to the rules you need to remember.
I’ll just remember the rules in the first place. Less effort.
There’s just no way rote learning is easier than mnemonics unless you have a photographic memory.
Shit, I still remember the order of taxonomic ranks after seeing the phrase “King Phillip came over from Germany stoned” written in a used bio textbook 30 years ago when we never even made it to that chapter to officially study in class. I guarantee I never would’ve remembered the list “kingdom phylum class order family genus species”.

Don’t ask anyone over the age of 45 how they remember resistor color codes …
I’m going with this one: Batman blows Robin on yon Gotham bridge; Vows Gordon’s next.
But wiki has a list:

Looks like it’s mostly in ROY G BIV order, although you’ve got black and brown up front, then they drop indigo and add gray and white at the end.

Yeah, but there is more to remember. I remember BODMAS and if I forget the rules, I work it out and apply it.
