Jumps not jumped. You are missing an ‘s’ otherwise. I’m amazed how common this mistake is 😁
In France, we have “Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume” (“Bring that old whiskey to the blond smoking judge”) and I find it really… french since we manage to put alcohol and tobacco in an alexandrine just to make a pangram.
It’s an imperfect one as it’s missing all the accented characters. Given the state of some fonts, you really want to test those, especially upper case ones.
This post genuinely inspired me a year ago and now I use that sentence instead of the lazy dog one
this whole exercise is really meant to exist in schools. like, schools for young kids.
we’re adults arguing about which nursery rhyme is cooler while forgetting that this isn’t for us. it needs to be easily understood by children. that’s why we use one with only short easy words.
even the sentence structure of the second one is complicated and hard for a child to remember.
i thought it was made to test typewriters.
looked it up,
it was made to help teachers teach students how to type on keyboards. my bad
Fair, though it’s also used to show off fonts, and I’ll use that second one from now on.
I used this to test my code
Pangrams! My goto has been
How quickly daft jumping zebras vex!for a little while, it’s just so silly.I said that phrase and summoned a Gothic Demon
I tried this, Odin is throwing rocks at me now. If I try to kill him do I go to Valhalla or Hel?
Because you don’t really use/see sphinx or quartz much in daily life. Much better to use a sentence that’s easier to write
I’ve never seen a fox in daily life either. Might as well be the same as a sphinx if that’s the bar.
You’re missing out. Foxes are great.
i think it’s more about being words that kids will know.
Sphinx coolness is not enough face to face with two cute animals in one sentence.
It’s easier to remember?
I mean, I’m not going to discount the cool factor of the alternative, but I already forget what it is. Meanwhile the quick brown fox has been stuck in my head for years after only hearing of it a couple of times at most.
Not me. I can never remember it. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow feels like a declaration a wizard would make with his dying breath. I don’t think I’ll forget it soon.
It’s easier to remember?
Because you’ve seen it repeatedly over years and years of time
Meanwhile the quick brown fox has been stuck in my head for years after only hearing of it a couple of times at most.
Either you never had to take typing, never had to change your font, or just weren’t very observant. I’ve seen that phrase hundreds of times over the decades. Hell, I remember having to type the stupid phrase repeatedly in typing class back in the day.
‘Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow’ is much cooler and more memorable, just from one read.
I took typing in highschool. We did exercises about the letters and their placement in a QWERTY layout. “Quick ask Zoe, why stop X-rays, even dogs can’t…” Fucking lodged in my brain still, even over two decades later.
That’s right. I’ve been using computers since the early 90’s. I’m old. I predate this phrase being popular. It still only took a couple of times seeing it, for it to be permanently lodged in my brain, just like asking Zoe quickly.
Well, jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. So there.
My sphinx of black quartz brings all the jackdaws to the yard
great
“Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.”

The hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind, zingy fox, the jabbering crab, and the mad whale and started vending and quacking.
