@Joel: No, I said your mnemonic *implies* that 時 means “bell”, not that it actually *does* mean that :P If “bell” is superfluous, then that leaves it as “time” + “temple” = “time”, which is *also* confusing to me. If it works out in your head though, that’s fine, I can’t argue against that; I’m sure there are plenty of things I’ve remembered using methods unique to my own thought process too haha.

And fine! I’ll make my *own* mnemonic! With blackjack… and hookers! In fact, forget the mnemonic and the blackjack! Eh, screw the whole thing.
