These lines from a Conway Twitty song are far easier to remember than a string of eight of Ebbinghaus's three-letter syllables. Why?
A) There are 24 letters in the Ebbinghaus string but only 17 words in this part of the song.
B) The song is written down as 4 lines rather than as a complete sentence, with all words in a row; Ebbinghaus's syllables are not.
C) The song is meaningful, it rhymes, and it has a meter to it; Ebbinghaus's syllables are not meaningful, do not rhyme, and do not have meter.
D) Many Americans are quite familiar with Conway Twitty's songs; not many are familiar with Ebbinghaus's syllables.
