I use the first line, minus "sleeping" every time I try a pen because it contains every letter of the alphabet. Great way to test a pen!

Yes I used a bit of Poetic license .. it didn't looks so good with tenses in the context so had to fit an "s" in somewhere

In case you didn't notice :- With the above modified version all the alphabet characters are repeated at least twice.

I think my favorite panagram is still, "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." I don't know why my typing teachers never cared for it in grade school.... lticaptd.gif

Actually, it's missing the "s".

To solve that...."The (or A, it doesn't matter) quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Wikipedia, I believe it was, has versions of panagrams in many languages (with some of the translations actually quite close to our own beloved "standard").
