Calcium: Picture for 20 reminds me of teeth, which might be a better option for Calcium? #128

Closed kevfrost closed 3 years ago

kevfrost commented 3 years ago

Calcium is often represented by bones or teeth, might it be better to have a mouth full of 20 teeth for this one?

remiberthoz commented 3 years ago

Hey, thanks for your input :smile: ! That sound like a good idea. I don't have much time to take care of modifications right now, but if you feel like creating an illustration I will be happy to merge it.

horwitz commented 3 years ago

major changes in existing mnemonics (esp. the Pratt ones) that many of us have been using for many years could be troublesome to say the least

remiberthoz commented 3 years ago

Indeed, in this case it would work to slightly alter the sentence by saying this is a necklace of teeth, instead of pearls?

horwitz commented 3 years ago

that's certainly a less-dramatic change (IMO)

(I'd say that the image doesn't really look at all like teeth, but these are so low-res 🤷‍♀️)

remiberthoz commented 3 years ago

I updated the deck as discussed here. Thanks for the suggestion!
