pangrams and a simple edit
[link because tumblr was giving me trouble]
i haven't edited anything since i was a teenager and i remember nothing, but i'd like to learn. biggest problem with that being i have nothing to edit, so i recorded a video of myself reading off four english pangrams i got from wikipedia :)
it's nothing fancy or complicated. just matched audio to video and cut out some silences.
below are the pangrams used in the order they were said.
Blowzy night frumps vex'd Jack Q.
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Quick nymph buys vex fjord waltz.
I'm sorry I can't keep my silence anymore, "Sphinx of Black Quartz, Judge My Vow" sucks ass, just one thunderous syllable after the other plodding along the tongue. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," by contrast, trips along like music.
...woozy on the old pins
The Oxford English Dictionary ran a search for pangrams in their example sentences. (A pangram is a sentence containing every letter of the alphabet.)
Amongst them was this beautiful accidental example from Caitlin Moran in the Times, 1993-07-10:
"Coming back from a jolly night out, slightly tanked up and woozy on the old pins, a quick blast of Bhangra would have me dancing exotic and erotic moves until I tripped over the cat."
last night I realized that "Quixote" and "Panza" together contain 3 rare consonants and all 5 English vowels, and messed around for a bit trying to write a pangram about them
(at one point the only letters I had left were f, c, and k, so you can imagine where that ended up :-/ )
of course today I discovered that a lot of people have had the same idea and actually succeeded in writing pangrams about these characters that are elegant, clever, and not vulgar.
I think my favorite is "Panza observed Quixote fiercely jousting windmill knights".
(though why not get it 3 letters shorter and make it "Panza observed Quixote fiercely joust windmill knights"?)
