After you use the words for a while, you’ll see that it’s the picture that will come to mind when you see or hear a number, not the actual word. What happens when we see or hear, say, 36? We actually see a match, not the word match. This will happen automatically if you use the Peg Words—and you will use them, as you continue reading.

complete list of peg words

You’ll learn many uses for the Peg Words. Going back to the long-digit numbers in the preceding chapter, for instance, when you’re stuck on one or two digits in a number you can simply use the Peg Word and keep right on going. It saves time. Occasionally, you’ll come to the end of a long number and still have one or two digits to take care of. Use the Peg Word for that.

And incidentally, if you see a group of like digits, don’t worry usually, like digits actually make a number easier to remember. Take 000000 in the middle of a long number—well, Souza’s size would take care of five zeros; zoos sue Souza’s sis would take care of eight zeros. You won’t even have to do that if there are digits before and after the zeros—9000000941, passes (poses, possess) Souza’s sport (or spirit) would do it.

If you’re worried about the ridiculous pictures staying with you, running around in your mind forever, don’t be. One of the beauties of the systems is the fact that all of them are means to an end. Once that end is accomplished, the means fade and disappear because they are no longer necessary. When the information is used a few times, you know that information what you won’t remember are your original silly pictures! That’s one reason you can use the same Peg Words over and over again.
