Vocabulary Mnemonics

Erudite: (adj) book smart; scholarly; having academic knowledge

“The erudite professor…” “The erudite young student was at the top of the class.”

Mnemonic: “Err” means to make an error. Imagine a teacher correcting an erudite student’s paper. He puts a big red checkmark and starts to write “er…” The student panics, thinking he’s made a mistake. But then, the teacher laughs and flips it to “er-udite!”

Because, after all, this kid would never err.
