You shouldn't need to memorise them. From your rant, you're obviously going to remember "wget", so you just start each alias with "wget-" and the rest of the name explains that alias's features, or which site it's for, or whatever sort of memory jog you need: wget-whichever-sites-it-is-for wget-whichever-features-this-one-has wget-whatever-else-bla-bla etc. I assume you're familiar with command completion, so typing $ wget-<TAB><TAB> will list all the various aliases (or functions) that you've written. Cheers, David.
