English is a wonderful language; with just 26 letters there is so many intricacies involved. This week the topic is "PANGRAM". I am sure many know it nevertheless I have tried to make it interesting by examples. A pangram is a sentence constructed using all the letters of the alphabet. The most widely known example is: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Ideally pangrams are short and do not contain proper nouns (it becomes easy that way). I enclose some of the famous ones; there are infact many but the ones mentioned are simple ones. Hope you enjoy it!
Jack quietly moved up front and seized the big ball of wax
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
Few black taxis drive up major roads on quiet hazy nights
Just poets wax boldly as kings and queens march over fuzz
Sixty zippers were quickly picked from the woven jute bag
Back in June we delivered oxygen equipment of the same size
A quick movement of the enemy will jeopardize six gunboats
All questions asked by five watched experts amaze the judge
By Jove, my quick study of lexicography won us a prize
Five jumbo oxen graze quietly with packs of dogs
Five or six jet planes zoomed quickly by the tower
I have quickly spotted the four women dozing in the jury box
We could jeopardize six of the gunboats by two quick moves
Whenever the black fox jumped, the squirrel gazed suspiciously
Woven silk pyjamas exchanged for blue quartz
A quarter jar of oil mixed with zinc oxide makes a bright paint
Amazingly few discoutheques provide jukeboxes
Five wine experts jokingly quizzed chablis sample
As I always say, bouquets and brickbats welcome!
