Do You Have A "test Phrase"?

[gweimer1]

I'm pretty simple. I also tend to write the pen name and a little description, and I usually manage to put "I love you, Marsha!" in there somewhere.

 

I have a note on my refrigerator that is a running series of that phrase using several pens and inks.

Hello Everyone,

 

"First write test," followed by "pass" or "fail"; followed by pen brand and model; nib size and ink brand/color. Then if I'm impressed by anything, a little commentary.

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

It was a pleasure to burn...Mother died today...I was born in the year 1632...It was love at first sight...

I'm a regular truffle hunter...

 

With thought..patience..and discrimination..book passion becomes the

signature of a person's character......

 

Since then, at an uncertain hour,

That agony returns,

And till my ghastly tale is told

This heart within me burns.

I have a few test phrases, the one I've been using most lately is:

 

It is not titles that honour men, but men that honour titles.

 

And sometimes I like to use (oh so predictable) Quick brown fox...

[Pelikan_FP]

I like to write two pangrams as test phrases.

 

Sphinx of black quartz, hear my vow.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

 

Cheers

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank

check made payable to The United States of America. For an

amount of up to and including my life. That is Honor, and there are way too many in this country who no longer understand it.

[Gorpy]

I made my own pangram "The quick frightening anomalocaris zipped by the juvenile wiwaxia."(I'm a prehistory nerd, it's based on animals during the cambrian period) based off of the "quick brown fox". For a wetness test, I use the word "minimum".

If the radio or TV is on or someone is talking, I usually write what I hear. Otherwise, my go-to phrase is the pangram "Foxy diva Jennifer Lopez isn't baking my quiche" because if I leave my scribble lying around, it confuses the hell out of the person who finds it.

I just write my name few times and scribble random words that I'm learning at school.

Like others, I tend to write the maker and model of the pen, along with my signature. Some times I will add the the last line from the "The End" by the Beatles: "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make."
