Which stands for, Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction. The classic muggle phrase for this, which some of you might be familiar with is 'Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally.'" Hadley frowned slightly.

"I don't know about you, but I don't have an Aunt Sally. So what I want you to do is create your own phrase. Wizardfy it. Make it personal to you. Something that you can remember when we get to calculating numbers."

Amethyst raised her hand after chuckling softly at the Professor's comment. Did she have an Aunt Sally? No. Not Ame. "Professor, how about 'Pickled Eggs Make Disgusting Appetizer Samples'?" She blushed hoping that would be alright.
