October 19, 201213 yr 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! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it,but you may still not find anything odd but if you work at it a bit you might find out.Try to do so without any coaching. GUY'S PLEASE HAVE A GO AT THIS RIDDLE,THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED TOMORROW Mountainsport......... GOOD LUCK AND THAT IS NOT A HINT!!!!!! XXXXXXXX
October 19, 201213 yr An English language teacher's answer might be: You've hit return unnecessarily after "though" in the second line, thus making it two unspaced paragraphs, not one. In addition, with one exception you've failed to space after each punctuation mark. Spelling 10/10; Grammar 7/10; Structure 3/10.

October 19, 201213 yr Shouldn't that be "Eee bah goom" lad? Yes .. but artistic licence kinda came into play. Talking of games... How about we start a round of Mornington Crescent
October 19, 201213 yr I think the point is that e is the most commonly used letter in the English language, so a whole paragraph not having an e is highly unusual.

October 20, 201213 yr Author bode!! YOUR A STAR well spotted. Mountainsport.... Oops! i had forgotten to put a smile at the end of it.
October 20, 201213 yr Should have stuck a smiley on the end. This was at one time a beloved joke in Channel 4's Countdown program, Carol Vorderman in particular often saying "would of" with mickey taking emphasis to show the falseness. N.B. For the pedant, since this text is in English, my spelling of program was deliberate and correct.
October 20, 201213 yr GUY'S PLEASE HAVE A GO AT THIS RIDDLE,THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED TOMORROW All I noticed was the greengrocer's apostrophe, followed by the observation that Old Dave the man with the signature "E = mc2 give or take 1/4" was the first to get the answer

October 31, 201213 yr A friend, far better read than me, has explained to me that there is a whole literary movement concerned with such unusual pursuits. I shan't even attempt to explain but for anyone, like me, who had never heard of it previously, I attach a link which helps but this really is not essential bedtime reading! A Void - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Indalo ps I forgot to mention that the above was born from this: Oulipo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia But the really important bit is that it's a little-known fact that Monsieur Queneau, one of the founders of what has become known as Oulipo was absolutely fanatical about electric bikes and may have owned one even before Flecc. Not a lot of people know that......to be fair, not a lot of people care! Edited October 31, 201213 yr by indalo
