A Pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet.
See if you can write one... harder than you think... the goal is to create as short a sentence as possible. For a bigger challenge... make two... that work together. I didnt fare to well... 68 letters in each of my sentences...
Ponder the Pangram
Ever been lazy in the ghetto, just moved to quit, skipping a few exceptional words.
Thinking where life put your crazy mind is ghastly, vexing, beyond just question.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
That is an original I made up all by myself!!!jk I learned that in grade school...Didn't everyone?

There's a book about this island that bans the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop- who is credited for coming up with "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as the shortest pangram. However the above sentence is shorter -the whole sentence is 32 letters long.
Oh yeah the book is called "Ella Minnow Pea"...it's a book for nerds...or word lovers...which are SuperNerds.
