As Seen Somewhere
1 little, 2 little, 3 little endian
3 big, 2 big, 1 big endian
I spotted that the other day and it amused me. I don't know what's sadder though: the fact that I get that or the fact that I'm wondering what it would be for middle endian
The problem I have with pnemonics like that is that they are easy to confuse. For instance,
3 little, 2 little, 1 little endian
1 big, 2 big, 3 big endian
is just as easy to remember as the real version.
Although my real beef is with the rhyme:
Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.
Beer before liquor, never been sicker.
which I always confuse with:
Liquor after beer, you're in the clear.
Beer after liquor, never been sicker.
I always use:
Liquor, beer, never fear.
Beer, liquor, never sicker.
Well, I would if I drank beer, or even just drank more often period.
I usually mix and match with reckless abandon.
And I rarely get sick. Unless I decide pizza should be a part of the above. Or, its a whiskey and coffee party....
Over the lips, and through the gums
Look out stomach, here it comes
