about Posted June 19, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2005 How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you look at it, study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck --don't blow your cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivel Posted June 19, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2005 It doesn't have the letter "E" in it at all, which is unusual because the letter E is a very common letter to be found in writing. Even if this isn't the answer, it is still unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a missing vowel may be a bit off the usual there is something blatantly and matter of factly wrong with the paragraph.... .....anyone else pick up on the glaring mistake? I noticed it instantly....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivel Posted June 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Jayman got it right Nice googling skills though 686554[/snapback] I do not appreciate that at all, just because I noticed a vowel isn't used doesn't mean I looked up the answer. And Joc, I still am not sure what you noticed, but I'll try to keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotboy555 Posted June 19, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I didn't notice that. I was looking for words that were doubled, like when something reads : Who let the the dogs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+joc Posted June 19, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2005 You're being literal. Yes, I am being literal....there is something wrong with the paragraph. It is so obvious. If you think I'm mistaken or you are tired of looking at it I will tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fahrenheit Posted June 19, 2005 #12 Share Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) Yes tell me now. Wait.. is it that a sentence begins with "but"? Edited June 19, 2005 by UniversalParadox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Nyx_ Posted June 19, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 19, 2005 no "e" anywhere, no indent.....I'm still looking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melladior Posted June 19, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I've seen this before. I thought it was just the E. Is there really something else wrong? I'll feel like a moron if there's something grammatically wrong with it; I'm a writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walken Posted June 20, 2005 #15 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Is there something wrong besides the 'E'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

343 Guilty Spark Posted June 20, 2005 #19 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Is that what the answer was no indent? I noticed that but I thought it would be something like grammer or layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted June 20, 2005 #20 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Is that what it was? How many people do bother with all that when typing something in on a computer, though? Nice to see grammatical and typographical standrds being upheld! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
about Posted June 20, 2005 Author #21 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Lol. The answer was there's no E all along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

about Posted June 20, 2005 Author #23 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Actually I didn't write it I got it off a website and thought, "Omg, this is so hard", and so randomly posted it on the forum to see what other people thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
