What is a true statement about "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"?
Correct answer: Every letter of the alphabet is used
Player Say what!?
All who took typing class in high school knew the correct answer.

But why did the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog? That question has never been answered. Has kept me up night for years. 😁

LargeKiwi47850, Not rubbish - fact! Its one of the first things you are taught when learning to type - especialljy touch typing - as it contains every letter so enabling you to learn where every key is quicker. Nowhere did Player Say What mention that only at high school did you learn this, so I fail to see where you manage to conclude that it was rubbish. Read answers properly before diving in with both feet.

craftmaker76, you have made the comment the Earth is flat one more than one occasion. why do you say that is your cerebral cortex damage? would you have anything even vaguely resembling effect to back up this statement?

Player Say what!?, Or just after high school for me. I don't think they taught typing at school in Australia, usually one would have to go to TAFE (Technical And Further Education) or a private institution to learn to type.

Read a book called Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It features this famous sentence prominently. I thought it was fun.

jayrock, I suspect you mean typewriting practice, we never wrote that for handwriting

It has been many years since I learned this sentence in Miss Johnson 's high school typing class. However, it was easy to spot the answer in the question. Still type over 65 (WPM)Words Per Minute.
