Two of those words are difficult to spell, a third is quite often misspelled, and the phrase is not as easy to remember.
It would have to be a VERY lazy dog to allow a fox to jump over it anyway.

I always just do them extra thoroughly the night before my yearly checkup at the occultist.

There’s also no “f” in that phrase. The whole point is to showcase a font.
Prunebutt@feddit.de 2 years ago
You skipped the “of”. Made the same mistake.

Sphinx of black quartz is for edgy nerds who take themselves to seriously. Quick brown fox is chill, like a cool autumn day when the light hits just right and everythings golden. It’s bliss
b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 2 years ago
counterpoint: quick broen fox is corporatized af while sphinx of black quartz has one hell of a vibe. you’re right that the fox is comfy because the cozy zone is the only spot where fun and corpos intersect and this one just so happens to fall into it but keeping it people-centric was never the point.
case in point: the test sentence we use in my native language translates to “floodproof mirror drill” to test out all our weird diacritics. no autumn vibes there, only corpos

5/10, not a sphinx…

The shortest is apparently “Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex.”
The pangram article also lists “Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf,” but without an article before dwarf it seems to be written in headlinese. I guess it could say “Glib jocks quiz dwarf nymph to vex” instead.

It’s jumps, not jumped, otherwise there’s no S.
And I also prefer the sphinx one.

When I started my career as a telecoms data engineer back in thr '80s the we used QBF to test modems on dial up data connections…the tester had a QBF button that would sent the text to a tester at the other end or it could even test round a loop back to itself.
You could inject errors with a button and these errors would count up on a basic 8 segment red led display to prove everything was working okay…happy days

Agreed. The “Sphinx” sentence is the cooler of the two. I’ve been using it for a long time. My personal twist: the last word becomes “vowel,” not “vow.” For me, easier on the ears.

I see “objectively” is going the same way as “literally” into the modern grammar trash heap of uncertain meaning.
Though I do agree that the sphinx one is cooler.

Not when they’re tearing a chicken to pieces. I’m just saying.
StephniBefni@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Well there aren’t any chickens to be torn apart in this sentence so it’s adorable actually. And I mean, I have had dogs for years and never had any of them tear up a chicken, most people with dogs probably don’t experience them near chickens much.

Where’s S. And V?
dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 2 years ago
The V is in “oVer” and the S is in the “jumpS” which the poster incorrectly wrote in past tense.
Or did you mean the second phrase which contain both?
TruTollTroll@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Okay I missed the word 'over: for the v, but the S was missing and it makes sense given it’s posted improperly…
I am not talking about the second one

… It does include an “F” - Sphinx oF black quartz. It’s even in the Wikipedia page noted as a pangram shorter than the lazy dog one (29 letters vs 35).

F is not an English letter. It’s German.
