21 How about you jumble them all up randomly?

23 That would sure appear to match your state of mind on the matter.

25 Who cares what the order is, you certainly shouldn't - I assure you you will
26 forget what the order all means anyway within 48 hours.

28 Try this instead: Study and understand the USE flags and know what they do and
29 mean. Then list them alphabetical - you will know where to find them and when
30 you see them they will make sense.
