Missing “c”? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:B23B:6D20:2841:D304:8668:FB92 (talk) 21:25, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"quick" has a "c".
I do agree that it should be either "the, a" or "a, the", not the inefficient "the, the". 2601:546:C300:8FF0:7CE4:BA81:92DF:EF43 (talk) 05:25, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the "V" is this sentence? This one is missing.. 2A02:A461:5636:1:F861:A793:35D2:A3FA (talk) 10:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's the second letter of the word "over". --Belbury (talk) 10:42, 24 February 2023

Alphabet locator

This chart provides a quick reference of the word in which each letter of the alphabet occurs. Though it is clear that all letters of the alphabet exist in the sentence, this chart is an aid to readers who may need help finding a few letters:

If you're suggesting adding this to the article, I don't think a nine-word sentence needs an index. --Lord Belbury (talk) 20:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You wouldn't think so, but there have been dozens of times that people have edited this article saying that it lacks one letter or another. It's weird. Maybe this chart would help. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 01:41, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Michigan School Moderator text was being sampled by some Inkscape tutorials which lead me down this rabbit hole. Looks like Kaldari is the world's expert on this. ;-) Jason Quinn (talk) 04:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fine little illustrations but they're unnecessary for this article - the b&w drawing the article currently has is there for historic reasons, not just as a picture. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 17:37, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that original historical context is more useful. The second image has also been deleted from Commons as a possible clipart copyvio. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:24, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
