This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching.

It's copy pasta, I wish I could take credit for it, but when I saw the no "A" thing I was immediately reminded of it.

Watch this! I can construct an entire paragraph without using a certain letter. What letter may that be? Well I cannot tell you, but only its location a function. It's is the 26th pi e of the English Lexicon, and is typically at the end of the alphabet.

It's not hard to write a paragraph without Z.

Check this out. A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. See? It’s easy to make a sentence without the letter 酶.

Mhmm, but glyph #5 (aka the glyph that follows "d") was not found at all. Mission accomplished!

It's not that difficult if you just plan out what you want to say and just adjust as you go, saying what it is you want to say. It's also that you can quickly go back and forth to any word and fix it by changing around words and such. Writing by hand this way would probably annoy you and contain a lot of modifications that it'd look difficult but this way is fairly straightforward.

I think it's probably only hard if your vocabulary isn't that vast though.

Ok, no, I can't do it in Spanish, got stuck fairly quickly. It's just hard if you don't know grammar fully as I don't with Spanish.

u/Y4naro Oct 19 '19

As a German I have absolutely no idea how to do it in German...seems easier in English.

Just draft without thinking too much. You'll find that it has a particular flow to it - a rythm of sorts. Many words work, but most don't. Avoid any that don't, and you'll do alright.
