For me, UK, posh school, 1980s it was just "sohcahtoa" - easy enough to be its own mnemonic. No need to gild a lily.

Your order is cosine, sine, tangent - CST. A quick look at the other examples here seem to prefer SCT - as do I but only because that is what I was taught.

I also note your mnemonic is very different to the one I learned in having the function name last. So AHC vs CAH.

There is no right or wrong here but I'm sure we can agree that there are loads of mnemonics for these basic trig formulae and nationality isn't involved.

UK, state school, late 90s/early 2000s, also just "sohcahtoa" - pronounced as a single word mostly. It never felt like it needed more than that?

		It seems we have an agreement on this. There is no need to gild the lily! I also went to a lot more schools than normal, thanks to living in multiple countries and my dad (army) moving every 18 months or so! sohcahtoa is nearly a word.
