Mnemonic Device
- Heather likes the WEATHER hot (and if there is confusion about the spelling of heather, it grows on a heath)
- Whether it is here, or whether it is there, whether is not quite where nor there
Explanation
This is a mnemonic to help you distinguish WEATHER (rain, sun, wind) from WHETHER (introducing a choice). "Heather likes the WEATHER hot" links the name Heather - and the heath plants that share its spelling - to WEATHER, since both end in "-eather" (H-EATHER, W-EATHER). WHETHER has no such shortcut, so the second line just contrasts the two: it isn't tied to a place ("here" or "there") the way weather can be.
