E for envelope
I was taught that the way to distinguish between stationary (not moving) and stationery (office supplies) was that stationery has an e for envelope.
I also learned that it one collar and two socks were necessary, as a way of remembering that necessary has one c and two ss.
I think these handy ways of remembering things are useful. What others are there?

I learned a 'piece of pie' to avoid confusing it with 'peace'.
When confused by "desert" or "dessert", I just remember which I would rather have two of.
That's brilliant- I'll use it in class from now on. It's a perfect way to remember it. Thank you. ;-)
I find it useful to add an additional line to the stationery/stationary mnemonic: 'E is for envelope, A is for at rest'
