Mnemonic Device
- two Cots need two Mattresses in any ACCOMMODATION
- A “good” hotel accommodation always has 2 *C*hairs and 2 *M*attresses.
- 2 cottages and 2 mansions
Explanation
This is a mnemonic to help you remember how to spell ACCOMMODATION correctly - one of the most commonly misspelled words in English, since it's easy to guess wrong on how many C's and M's it has.
The word actually has two C's and two M's: a-C-C-o-M-M-o-d-a-t-i-o-n. The trick pictures a place to stay (accommodation) that literally has two of each piece of furniture: two cots (or two chairs) and two mattresses. Picturing that scene - "two cots, two mattresses" - makes the double letters stick, instead of just guessing.
