Time for a sentence that really uses all letters. At least all the letters from latin scripts. So give me some Þ and some ß.
Also some č æ ø đ ē ç œ
Fine. Using this from now on.
pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
It’s missing h and t, so that’ll have to be hot liquor jugs.
Nope, all there: with
I better stick with quick brown fox
Too many liquor jugs? 😁
Such sloppy sentence engineering. Sus.
To answer honestly, it’s because the first sentence only uses common and easy to spell words.
boxers had zap of gay jock love, quit women
Came here for this one! 👊⚡️👨🏻❤️👨🏻🏋️❤️🚫👯♀️
I sometimes see it used on some font websites
Doesn’t the first sentence in this post specifically not include “s”? So, not all letters are included?
Wikipedia gives the conventional pangram: “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.
Good catch. Dogs. Or jumps.
That’s because this movie scene etched in into people’s memory
no it’s cause it’s used by dafont and google fonts
No amount of coolness can ever beat the cute animals.
maybe the sphinx is half cute half animal
The second sentence is harder
Simplicity trumped form when such things were drawn up
As I’ve said before. Quick brown fox is chill and comforting, like a pleasant autumn day at the park or perhaps a forest. Sphinx of black quartz is objectively a million times nerd shit and uncool. It tries too hard to be cool. Like a mom or dad trying to use the new slang that the kids have been throwing around. And because they don’t know how to use it, the slang is made to be out of place, uncool. Maybe if it was in the midst of some great, terrible, perilous story of bravery and heroics - a choice line said when it was most needed - it would be amongst good company. But it’s not. It’s just a sentence used to display the letters of the alphabet. So diluted and stale. Through this constant repetition, this constant exposure, it has lost potency. Venom in blood so carefuly exposed a hundred fold as to experienve no symptom. But Quick Brown fox suffers no ill side effect, because it was bred for this purpose. It knows what it has been made to do and does it with pleasure.
Thanks for reading.
‘The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’ does not contain the letter S.
It’s jumps.
“The slow black dog bows before the regal fox” will forever be in my head thanks to that one episode of Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams.
(Yes, it’s missing the Z. That’s part of the point.)
It’s also missing I, J, M, N, P, Q, U, V, and Y.
That’s nearly half the alphabet. As approximate pangrams go, this one failed harder than any I’ve seen before.
Mild spoilers, but in the show, >!it isn’t supposed to be a pangram, but a response to one, sort of like an anti-pangram. f you’re trying to focus on the typical ‘quick brown fox’ pangram, it breaks your concentration. It sounds close, but the more you think about it, the worse it gets and the less you’re able to focus on the real one.!<
But my point is that it still confuses me and pops up in my head when I’m trying to think about the real one.
It’s easy to remember. I can’t forget about the quick brown fox. However, I’ve already forgotten the alternative. Something black? Idk
