    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 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.

        Fair, though it’s also used to show off fonts, and I’ll use that second one from now on.

    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.

        See them as a writen word.

        There are no “hard” words in the fox sentence. While some people might struggle with writing sphinx or quartz.

    Sphinx coolness is not enough face to face with two cute animals in one sentence.
