The word soul
refers to something which not all of the human race even believes in. Those who
do believe in it usually think of a soul as the spirit which animates our body
in life, and occasionally haunts our surroundings after death. Many believe
that the soul passes to another plane of existence after death. However this
blog is not a place to debate philosophy or belief systems, it is a place to
learn about writers, writing, and the words that make books possible.
The word sole has
several meanings, ranging from only (as in the family’s sole supporter), through a fish (the sole was delicious), to the bottom of your shoe (I need to take my
boots in to have the soles repaired).
Keep them separate by remembering that a soul is all about
“U”, and if it’s not about “U”, then the word doesn’t have a “u” in it.

Love this ! What a great way to remember this ! :)
ReplyDeleteI've got a really good forgettery myself, so I've learned that if I can think up some sort of easy hook to hang the fact on, I can remember the fact a lot longer. The sillier the hook is, the better I will remember it.
DeleteThat's why I try to put a how to remember the rule in my grammar lessons. If grammar were easy to remember, I wouldn't be teaching these lessons. ;-)
