This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you
can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and
plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing
is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about
it, but you still may not find anything odd But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

The letter "e" which is the most common letter used in the English
language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.

Someone once wrote a book without using the letter E.

[excelsior-1]

in other words .... 'paragraph' does not contain the letter e?

[commoner]

...neither does "a book"...<G>

[HowardKennitby]

The E-less book is called "Gadsby" published in 1939.

No excelsior-1; the whole paragraph doesn't contain a E
