+# Numonic
+
+The human brain has trouble remembering long numbers. Take for example:
+
+ 9285 9495 3463 8841
+
+Not very easy to remember quickly, is it? But how about the phrase:
+
+ painful purple marjoram favorite
+
+Nonsensical, but still easier to remember. As you might be guessing now, there
+is a system that turns numbers into mnemonics so that you can remember phone
+numbers, credit card numbers, and any other long number sequence you would
+like to remember.
+
+## System
+
+The trick is to break the number apart into consonants, and then make words
+out of the consonants. If you slowly talk out the words, you'll find that
+the sibling consonants for a number have a same 'mouth-feel' to them
+(if you've ever studied lip-reading, you'll catch on right away!)
+
+0 - z, s, and soft c
+1 - t, d
+2 - n
+3 - m
+4 - r
+5 - l
+6 - j, sh, ch, g
+7 - k, hard c, hard g
+8 - f, v, ph
+9 - p, b
+
+* vowels have no value ('onomatopoeia' == 2319)
+* silent letters are discarded ('sign' == 02, not 062)
+* w, h, and y have no value ('widely' == 15, 'whirlybird' == 45941)
+* double letters count as one ('sally' == 05, not 055)
+
+You can turn these words into phrases, so that the first 10 digits of pi
+can be remembered as:
+
+ Mutter tulip Nietzche lame
+
+## Installation
+
+ `gem install numonic`
+
+## Using numonic
+
+Numonic helps you learn the system quickly, and can give you mnemonic
+ideas easily. Say you really want to remember your friend Jenny's number.
+Just type in:
+
+ `numonic 8675309`
+
+And you get 'fjklmzp'. Start mouthing out the consonants, and you get
+something like 'fudge kill maze pie'. Awesome! Serve me up a slice of that!
+
+Have trouble remembering your license plate? Numonic simply keeps any letters
+that you put in, so:
+
+ `numonic BDR-529`
+
+becomes
+
+ bdr-lnp
+
+which can be turned into
+
+ butter low nap
+
+Got a really long list of numbers in a file? Numonic also accepts STDIN
+
+ `cat list_o_numbers.txt | numonic`
+
+As you might imagine, having a strong vocabulary can help you come up with
+really colorful phrases that make it easy to memorize long numbers.
