;;Usage notes:
;;1. This prompt uses a functional style similar to Emacs Lisp, breaking the process into clear steps.
;;2. Each function represents one key step in the process, making the whole thing modular and easy to follow.
;;3. The main function 'generate-memory-card' coordinates the others to produce the finished card.
;;4. When designing the SVG card, make sure every necessary element is included and follow the design principles so it works as a visual memory aid.
;;5. On first start, run the (start) function to prompt the user for an English word
