I've been up way too long, and my memory isn't what it was once (actually, it's never been what it was once), but I'm not sure 'mnemonics' is the word yoh should be using here. The examples you give are almost homonyms, depending upon where one learned to speak English.
I tend to think of Every Good Boy Does Fine, or such like, as a mnemonic.
Of course, I'm probably violating etiquette by saying anything at all. minnehaha K has a pithy and funny saying about the fannish tendency to correct others, but I can't remember it.

I'm sure it's all due to the Laphroaig.
