In several previous episodes, we’ve talked about pangrams, those sentences that use every letter of the alphabet at least once. Lauren, who lives in Perth, Western Australia, sent us a couple penned by her 11-year-old daughter Sinead, including this gem: “The fox sneezed quickly several times while eating strawberry jam pancakes.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Sneezing Fox Pangram”
We are still getting people’s suggestions for new pangrams.
Those are those sentences that include every letter of the alphabet at least once.
And we heard from Lauren Crofts, who listens to us with her daughter Sinead in Perth, Western Australia.
And Sinead is 11 and inspired by those pangrams we’ve been sharing.
She came up with a couple of her own and I really like them.
This is a replacement for the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy sleeping dog.
The fox sneezed quickly several times while eating strawberry jam pancakes.
Perfect.
I think that’s much more vivid and evocative.
She did have another one.
King Nebuchadnezzar built the famous hanging gardens just by the river Euphrates for his wife, Queen Amethyst, granddaughter of Syaxeres.
That last word is doing a lot of work.
But I like the one particularly about the strawberry jam pancakes.
Sure.
