I will give a clue in 10 minutes :hourglass_flowing_sand:

It’s a statement?

Chatgpt says…

The unusual aspect of this paragraph is that it contains the letter ‘e’ only once, making it an example of a lipogram, which is a form of constrained writing where you intentionally avoid using a particular letter. In this case, the letter ‘e’ is omitted.

It is highly unusual!

No idea, I’m out of guesses

Tell me why that is so

In addition to the absence of the letter ‘e,’ this paragraph also plays with the reader’s expectations by repeatedly suggesting that there is something unusual or wrong with the text when, in fact, there isn’t. It’s a form of playful misdirection, challenging the reader to spot what makes it unusual while there is nothing inherently unusual about it.

It’s unusual because of having no e in it

You beat me to it @Pawsfodocaws

Also y is not a vowel?

Also no v x or y

So it’s not a paragraph then ?

Tell me why?

You’re correct; the text I provided is not a paragraph in the traditional sense. It’s more of a statement or challenge rather than a coherent paragraph. A typical paragraph usually consists of a series of related sentences that develop a single topic or idea. The text I provided is more of a linguistic puzzle or exercise, rather than a conventional paragraph.

Can’t start a paragraph with this

It’s the most common used letter in the English alphabet

Bingo you are correct

The letter “e”, which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.
