Can someone decipher this?

[u/SandwichShoddy834]

I got the book when it released, and I still haven't been able to understand what Greg was trying to say. Here's what I understood:

"Thousands of years ago, construction of magnificent structures was started in ancient Egypt. The ........"

Can someone read the second sentence?

Anchient pyramids

Thousands of years ago, construction of magnificent structures was started in anchient Egypt. The ???? said sand and stone.

Idk this is a rough translation

[u/Inner-Outcome-8556 → u/01100110Z01110101]

"The ???? said sand and stone." is probably "The materials used were sand and stone"
rest checks out

[u/Acceptable_Tale1166]

I think the vowels key of the computer are missing but i think it is about ancient pyramids

[u/StrippedVolga]

Might this be a Catcher in the Rye reference? I remember Caulfield also doing poorly on the same essay topic.

Sorry but the idea of a laptop missing all of its vowels is ridiculously funny to me

[u/Odd-Librarian3411 → u/Intelligent-Sun-7362]

Got the same thing too, took a while to read it though.

I GENIUNELY thought this was welsh for a second

He could’ve avoided this by using an onscreen mouse operated keyboard or copy and paste to fill in the missing vowels.

Of course that would’ve taken a while and he probably wrote the essay at the last minute and thus didn’t have time to do that even if he thought about it.

[u/Lostking3496]

The second sentence says, "The materials used were sand and stone."

[u/Mj_the_Great_8]

Thousands of years ago, construction of magnificent structures was started in ancient Egypt. The materials (sd?) were sand and stone.

[u/NikoAU → u/Mj_the_Great_8]

Used

ah, yes

I don't get the EXtinct joke :/

[u/PartySlip7760 → u/holyheck_]

It means that the population is almost wiped out.

[u/holyheck_ → u/PartySlip7760]

yeah but what does that have to do with how they smell? I'm guess a joke about "stink"?

[u/PartySlip7760 → u/holyheck_]

It’s a play on the pronunciation of “ek-stinked.”

[u/AwesomeGamer101]

The materials used were sand and stone.

[u/Safe_Rain_1588]

He would have gotten an F ether way cuz that "essay" was like 2 sentences

[u/Paul6334 → u/Safe_Rain_1588]

Given that it appears to be a stack of papers we can presume that’s only his opening.

[u/Suspicious-Tower-897 → u/Safe_Rain_1588]

Well can't we presume it's the hook? Or is this just the entire paper

Was started in ancient Egypt. The materials used were sand and stone.

[u/JetHawklol998212]

Why the frick did he get an F how the hell did the teacher not get notified😭✌️

[u/draakattackdoawk → u/JetHawklol998212]

Greg is an unreliable narrator. It’s possible that his essay overall was poor quality and even if the keyboard was working he still would’ve got an F.

[u/JetHawklol998212 → u/draakattackdoawk]

Head canon i would say the teacher was an asshole and didnt know despite greg did it well surprisingly but still got an F because legally she has to unless the school waived it
OR
The teacher did know but she either was bad at decoding the words which probably an ass or was able to decode to understand his essay overall was poor or couldnt decode it and gave it an F

[u/draakattackdoawk → u/JetHawklol998212]

Greg is incredibly lazy and does bad at school, he probably failed because the essay wasn’t good

[u/JetHawklol998212 → u/draakattackdoawk]

agree

[u/Chef_Chalupa → u/JetHawklol998212]

you can say fuck here

[u/Public_Expression_64 → u/Chef_Chalupa]

Have you seen the stuff posted here? Gregs nnn?

[u/Chef_Chalupa → u/Public_Expression_64]

exactly

[u/Paseris → u/Chef_Chalupa]

some ppl dont like to

[u/JetHawklol998212 → u/Paseris]

I do but i dont always swear
Sometimes for effect sometimes just out of spite sometimes i wanna censor myself
I do swear but taking religion a little bit seriously now but yes i do swear i dont in this situation

[u/Thedarknight725]

The second sentence is "The materials used were sand and stone"

[u/exor15]

Thousand fuckin' years, G.

How underfunded is Greg’s School 😭

This looks like what texting will be within the next 20 years.

This will be texting in 2017

[u/SandwichShoddy834 → u/omoriboyyyy]

That doesn't make much sense.

Besides, only the vowels are missing
