Title: This is an unusual paragraph !
Post by: neilep on 28/03/2006 15:17:22
NO CHEATING !!...That means no GOOGLING !!...promise ?...really promise ?...ok..lets begin !!




This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.




Don't you dare think about cheating !!! PLEASE be honest ! it defeats the object of this intriguing teaser.

Men are the same as women, just inside out !

That is very parochial of you – you do ofcourse mean, the most commonly used letter in the alphabet when writing in English (although there are about 20 different vowel sounds in English, and the fact that they are represented by only 5 vowel letters in the alphabet, clearly is one reason why the same vowel letter is repeated so often in the written language).
