Watch the quick brown fox actually jump over the lazy dog
nuh uh - not until you see the vid of jackdaws eating admiring my sphinx - it’s a big one too, and sparkly
[wow, nice autocorrect]
I grew up with “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”. Pretty straight forward.
I think that one was a line from ‘Airplane!’ they needed June Cleaver to decipher?
There’s little evidence in this video to show that the dog is in fact lazy. The dog is standing and looks alert. Perhaps the dog is simply indifferent to the presence of the fox?

That doesn’t go to anything; I just eat the heads of cows with zeal and relish.
I learned a few things in typing class.
The term for a phrase or bit of verse that contains all the letters of the alphabet is pangram .
I got my first real job by typing The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog because I had to prove I could use a keyboard.
Next up: a video about someone jinking a cwm, zagging a veldt, and fobbing the Qursh pyx.
(That was always one of my favorite perfect pangrams: Jink cwm, zag veldt, fob Qursh pyx. Sounds like a perfectly sound plot for a heist movie. )
