The latter one has been bowdlerized -- the last word was originally
"willingly," and the first word was actually literally the word it was

Just recently it has. They've added class L to the right of M.
RNS is not really part of the sequence. O through M goes from
most luminescent to least luminescent stars. RNS are stars that don't
fall into the other classes because they have unusual features in their
spectra (I've forgotten the details). So the new sequence is
OBAFGKML (RNS).
Anyone want to come up with a new mnemonic?

cosine, tangent, opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse.
