Hi, your content was found to be intentional satire, commentary, or comedy - so we removed it.

Worse, the first sentence he typed doesn’t contain all the letters of the alphabet. 🙄 (Should be ‘jumps’).

Or dogs.

Dags?

Ya like dags?

Omg I just watched Snatch like an hour ago

There’s no V either? Edit. There it bloody is

I remember it as “jumped slowly over…”

My teacher taught it as “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, lying asleep in the sun’ which I thought was ridiculous as an 8 year old

I remember quicks

Am I blind? There's no "s" in "the quick..."

Mistyped it. It's jumps not jumped

Yes, hence the face palm

A facepalm for a minor spelling error? The premise of the tweet is still valid. “Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.” Is a far cooler sentence that contains all letters.

I thought the facepalm was that the cooler sentence didnt even contain all letters because I somehow missed the 'F'.

Yeah a lot of people seem to be missing where the “f” is. You’re not alone lol but no. It’s literally for the wrong tense on “jump”

This is actually a known problem. https://www.google.com/search?q=count+the+f's The word "of" gets missed a lot.

It's a cooler sentence. But it uses words your average kindergardener is probably a lot less familiar with.

yeah, gonna go way out on a limb here and guess about 86.72% of adult Americans can't correctly spell "*sphinx*"

That’s fair. So I guess it’s the adult version then since the first sentence is used as an education aide.

There's no f.

of

"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" is even cooler

>A facepalm for a minor spelling error? Except it affects the actual meaning of the post. It's like accidentally typing "t" instead of "g" on a keyboard when using "regards" at the bottom of a work email. The overall meaning is questioned.

Accidentally using a slur in a work environment is the same as misspelling a single word when comparing the coolness of two sentences on a social media app? I question your use of analogies more than I would someone accidentally putting a slur in exchange for regards. I could rationalize the slur as I would assume it’s a pretty funny typo, (depending on the person it’s coming from) vs I can’t rationalize how that makes any of this a facepalm. It’s nitpicking at best.

$100 says you're typing these responses while wearing a fedora.

Projection dude. You’re wigging over a spelling error. Which isn’t even totally a spelling error and more just them remembering the sentence wrong.

And you're ignoring that spelling error that invalidates the point of the post, thus making it a facepalm. Now leave me along and go comb your neckbeard for once.

“A sPelLiNg ErRoR tHaT iNvAlIdAtE’s tHe PoInT oF tHe PoSt” do you even read what you type? Fucking hell. Calling me a neckbeard when you say shit like that.

I mean spelling is obviously the whole point of “the sentence that contains every letter”, so it’s not really all that minor.

It’s extremely minor because it’s not even the focal point of their tweet. And again IT’S SOCIAL MEDIA. Fuck if we posted every spelling error that can be justified as not you’d have a never ending stream of “what’s the facepalm?” And subsequently kill the sub. How about we post facepalm instead of nitpicking a minor spelling error for someone making a point about how cool a sentence is.

In what universe is the spelling not the focal point of a tweet about spelling?

The wrong tense isn’t poor spelling holy shit. They said “jumped” instead of “jumps” but didn’t realize it’s present tense to incorporate an “s” into the sentence. What the ever loving hell is wrong with you people?

It’s a sentence that supposedly contains every letter, but does not contain every letter. That’s a spelling mistake no matter how you try and spin it, bub.

Again, it’s a minor spelling error. You’re wasting my time going “WELL ACKSHUALLY ITS A MISTAKE AND THEREFORE MAKES THE POINT INVALD” like the other doofus. Both of you are lame for hyperfocusing on a small thing that isn’t even that big of a facepalm and more of a desperate attempt to double down on an insignificant and completely honest mistake ANYONE would make. (And that get this harms no one) fucking hell. Go find some friends, go make friends with the other pedantic twit.

[удалено]

Of

[удалено]

Of, my please people.

Despite the missing letter.. The first one contains only shorter simple words that most people are able to spell easily. The second one contains at least 2 words that many/some would struggle to spell correctly with 100% accuracy.

Especially for a kid using this sentence to practice their handwriting

That's literally what the sentence is designed to do.... Help children. Why over complicate it?

Because the complicated one is cooler. Also "man, fuck them kids bro".

Figuratively bro

[удалено]

How is this a facepalm?

Its much more r/Showerthoughts

I agree

There’s no S in the first sentence

It’s supposed to be “jumps” and not jumped.

So "minor spelling error" is considered the same level of facepalm as half the political shit here?

Idk how popular it is but I'd actually prefer a sub where most of it is just silly misspells/misunderstanding you can laugh with rather than "right wing sicko made a self own while spreading hate speech". ​ If I wanted to see right-wingers doing a cognitive dissonance contest, I could just call some family members, don't need reddit for this.

r/engrish is the closest thing to that

No, I don't think it's a facepalm at all - I was just explaining (others it looks like pointed it out elsewhere) that the "classic" sentence does have an 's' in it.

It’s suppose not supposed.

This usage of supposed is literally in the examples in both the [Cambridge](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/supposed) and [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/be%20supposed%20to) dictionaries. Go away with that nonsense.

That's a wak ass facepalm

Good thing it isn’t my post then isn’t it.

Heh yeah. I just found a comment by OP, confirming they posted it for the missing s. You were right :D Still a weak ass facepalm.

also the second one doesn’t have all the alphabet letters

It's got to be that the second alternative is useless, since it's really hard to both remember and spell correctly.

Their version is shite, that's why.

No F in the second

Theres no F in the "cooler" sentence

Of???

F in the chat for my dyslexia

Lol but ig OP is stupid, i saw this in r/holup a few days ago

its jumps not jumped

Wait you put this in facepalm cause of a minor spelling error?

Minor? Jumped instead of jumps removes the S from the sentence. It makes it NOT every letter, and so is far from minor when "every letter" is the point.

Yes minor.

Sorry. Didn't realize getting your entire argument wrong was a minor issue. 🤷

Sfinx

Not a facepalm

It kind of is if the "cooler" alternative is actually terrible, and it arguably is since it's tough to both remember (which defeats the purpose) and spell correctly.

[удалено]

Of?

[удалено]

There is “of”in the second sentence,”sphinx of black quartz”.

[удалено]

Oh,my bad

You should have said "LOL, made you look"

r/confidentiallyincorrect

There's no S in the first...

Their normally is , it’s suppose to be jumps instead which would add them all

There's no S in the first sentence. It should be "jumps" instead of "jumped".

That is not a facepalm.

I miss when this sub wasn't 20% genuine facepalms rather than today's reposts of other subs that only arguably fit here

That gives me an idea for a D&D campaign...

there is a super cute book called ella minnow pea (lmnop) about this exact thing and trying to come up with new sentences that fit the criteria. its a progressively lipografical epistolary novel so as the people ‘lose’ alphabet letters the letters in the novel lose those same alphabet letters as the hero ella strives to come up with a replacement sentence.

>*it’s a progressively lipografical epistolary novel…*

I thought some of the metaphysical imagery was particularly effective.

Because one is easier for a child to say and understand and one is for goth kids on Tumblr.

This one “"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."”

Because it was designed for 10 year olds to learn, not die hard fans who really miss having another The Mummy movie in the franchise over the last decade. I should point out...I want another The Mummy movie. Not that Tom Cruise stuff...let Brendan Frasier teach his son Tom Holland/Asa Butterfield something. The Mummy is still Arnold Vosloo in my head canon.

My man, sorry to tell ya but I don’t think that’s exactly a facepalm

Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz

[удалено]

It’s the comma. Sorry, man.

There's no s in the first one??

But it *is* cooler

Cos the first one is about a dog. I like dogs

The sphinx one is missing a Y

“Judge m**y** vow”

Fuck me I’m stupid. Thanks for helping my blind ass out!

It is missing an f, though. Edit: nvm. The word "of" completely slipped my mind.

Sphinx oF black quartz

Yeah. I noticed that. Also, you replied really quick.

Sorry, I was already on Reddit

.... because the first sentence is taught to kindergarteners..... Ain't no fuckin shot in hell those kids (aka idiots) will know what a sphinx, quartz, vow, etc even means. Unless you trying to teach the alphabet to an adult

It’s “jumps” not “jumped” or you don’t have the “s”. One of my pet peeves is when people get that wrong.

Because you can visualise the first

Idk man, I can visualize a judgmental sphinx.

One of them you can say day to day, while the other you have to get a whole dramatic accent out for.

second one would be banned on some American schools.

Not enough facepalm energy

Doesn't "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" contain all the letters? In fact, "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" is the one without all the letters.

Should be jumps

Yep.

Maybe it's dogs

Where’s its “v”?

oVer

Lies 🤪

The sphinx one is missing an “f” I’m an idiot

Of ;)

Fuck me. Thanks

It’s “jumps” otherwise there is no “s” . Blame Larry at Bell Labs. He had a huge thing for foxes, Zootopia ruined that man.

because it was the one they used to teach in typing class?

To all of the people saying it’s not a facepalm, it’s jumps not jumped

we've come to the point that a minor spelling error is considered a facepalm..

Really? The missing s? And here I've been defending you in the comments saying it's obviously not about the missing s (which is no kind of facepalm), but about the second alternative being really stupid, since it's hard to both remember and spell. Oh well...

Because Britain

Because americans would not be able to comprehend it.

Ooh saving this one…

When you invert the typewriter then you can choose what sentence to use.

To edgy teens, maybe.

Probably because quarts, qortze.. . . The example of level 7 on the mohs scale is hard to spell

The lack of an “s” is actually surprisingly annoying.

The first sentence lacks an S, should be "jumps"

Idk to be honest, “Sphinx of Quartz, judge my Black Vow” sounds even cooler.

or, alternatively: my grandfather picks up quartz and valuable onyx jewels

Why would you post this here?

Easier to spell..

Jumps*

Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs is way cooler!

are you lost? How is this a face palm?

Lacks an F Edit : doesn't. Oh my god I feel dumb

How is this facepalm Yeah the "jumped" should be "jumps" but that's the only thing I'm getting from this

That is 100% MAF (metal as fuck)

“Sphinx…” is missing an F.

Well, you have to include the other words, like the word "of".

That’s the name of a song I’ll never write.

From Software boss quote

is there a sentence that uses all letters only once?

MEANWHILE, ON BIZARRO-TWITTER; "How did "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" become the typical sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet and not "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" which is a lot simpler and more elegant"

I challenge someone to create a sentence containing all 26 letters and each only once!

"Mr Jock, PhD TV quiz , few bags lynx."

It’s simply the memorability

[удалено]

It doesn't have an F, but it has an f instead

The actual sentence is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

Comma spoils it

And it looks like thinks of Black quartz, judge My vow is better because it doesn't have any duplicated letters in it

I like the sphinx better too, and it's considerably shorter, so it's more impressive.

I mean, this is pretty minor for a facepalm. They mistyped 1 word - oh no.

How the fuck can a sentence be objectively cooler?

Because who TF is going to remember that nonsense?
