Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 52 points 10 months ago

Two of those words are difficult to spell, a third is quite often misspelled, and the phrase is not as easy to remember.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Sphinx of black quartz is for edgy nerds who take themselves to seriously. Quick brown fox is chill, like a cool autumn day when the light hits just right and everythings golden. It's bliss

[-] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 8 points 10 months ago

counterpoint: quick broen fox is corporatized af while sphinx of black quartz has one hell of a vibe. you're right that the fox is comfy because the cozy zone is the only spot where fun and corpos intersect and this one just so happens to fall into it but keeping it people-centric was never the point.

case in point: the test sentence we use in my native language translates to "floodproof mirror drill" to test out all our weird diacritics. no autumn vibes there, only corpos

The shortest is apparently "Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex."

The pangram article also lists "Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf," but without an article before dwarf it seems to be written in headlinese. I guess it could say "Glib jocks quiz dwarf nymph to vex" instead.

5/10, not a sphinx...

Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes

Boxers had a zap of gay jock love, quit women.

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago

It's jumps, not jumped, otherwise there's no S.

And I also prefer the sphinx one.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months ago

Because I use the only one that I can remember.

[-] Mechaguana@programming.dev 10 points 10 months ago

There is no s in the first phrase

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 16 points 10 months ago

In the real one it's "jumps", but "jumped" sounds more right.

Jörg bäckt quasi zwei Haxenfüße vom Wildpony.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

I see "objectively" is going the same way as "literally" into the modern grammar trash heap of uncertain meaning.

Though I do agree that the sphinx one is cooler.

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Damn that is cooler

"qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm" gang!

[-] mob@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

More common words.

[-] APassenger@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

jumps over the lazy dog.

Otherwise there's no "s."

It tells a short story that's visual and full of words people know how to spell.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Apparently not. ☹️

edit: Aww, they fixed the typo. Now my joke is lame(er).

[-] APassenger@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Mobile phone at 4 Am. Missed the typo. Fixed now.

[-] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

As a non-native yet quite fluent speaker of English, I was wondering where the letter s was supposed to be in the example above. Thanks for pointing out the very obvious thing anyway, brains can fart at times.

[-] subspaceinterferents@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Agreed. The "Sphinx" sentence is the cooler of the two. I've been using it for a long time. My personal twist: the last word becomes "vowel," not "vow." For me, easier on the ears.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Judging vowels:

S tier - O, I
A tier - A
B tier - E, U

I will be long dead before I consider Y a vowel
