All that remains to be done, is to associate the word to
the letter itself, so that one will remind you of the other.
You could use the peg words that sound like the letters—
associate ape to rat, bean to terror, sea to torture, dean to
tearer, eel to air, effort to rear tire, and so on to zebra to
teeterer.
Or, you could use the adjective idea by associating an
adjective that begins with the proper letter, to the word—
awful rat, big terror, crazy torture, dreamy tearer, excellent
air, flat rear tire, and so on to zigzag teeterer. If you know
the position of all the letters, then you could just use
your regular peg words, by associating them to the signal
word.
The way you associate them is up to you. The idea is
that now the dots and dashes are no longer unintelligible.
It shouldn't take you more than half an hour to memorize
the Morse code with this system. Of course, this doesn't
mean that you will be a telegrapher. Speed in sending code
comes only with lots of practice and experience, but the
system does make it easier at the beginning, when you have
to memorize the signals.
So, you see how the systems can be twisted and manipu-
lated to help you with most any memory problem. I've tried
to teach you many stunts in this chapter and throughout
the book, and I'm sure you'll be able to think of many more.
