Strange paragraph

billable · 04-15-2007, 09:26 PM

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you 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. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.

There is no "E" in that sentence.

Or the paragraph.

EEEEEggzactly. The most used letter in the English language and not one e in the whole paragraph.

Where'd it go?

Now, a paragraph that excludes a letter or group of letters actually has a name. It comes from the Greek for "missing letter." Anyone know this?
