Have a read of this -

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly 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. Try to do so without any coaching!

 

It does not contain the words 'a' or 'the' which is quite unusual.
I may be a million miles off the mark though.

 

Got it..



SPOILER ALERT














None of the words have the letter "e" in them.

 

It is grammatically correct, which makes it unusual for Scoobynet.

 

Yep, I think you got it

So the fact that I noticed no 'the' was relevant. DOH!

 

Git.

 

I'll second that.

 

I was unusually skillful in finding a solution without third party succour or contribution.



How's that for my response without using the same letter?

 

Got it by the third line, what do i win?

 

That's sh1te..oops...****.

Will you just stop manufacturing ridiculous assays into producing solutions that do not contain a particular missing symbol?

 

No



How did i do on this occasion?

 

Which is wrong, the Yorkshire usage of t'<word> is meant to represent "to the", NOT "the".

i.e. I'm going t'shops is fine.
I'm going to t'shops is not.

Even I know that, and I'm suvvener.

 

Oh for God's sake

Oh yes

 

 

yeah but mine were better

 

You do appreciate just how funny that is Tel, don't you?

 

better, but.....

 

Zip,

tha's not frum t'Ribble Valley by any chance?

The same riddle appeared in one of the freebie papers recently!

mb

 

Is "aint" grammatically correct?

Les

 

Actually yes it is. It is short for "Am not". this was modified to ain't due to the way it was said

If you think about it: Aren't I is appalling English... Are I not. When written like that it just looks wrong.

 

Yes I know but I was also thinking of the correct way to write it as you did in fact, as "ain't".

Les

 

Whoops sorry Les - didn't see the missing '

Please accept my humblest apologies for doubting your lexicographic prowess

 

By 'eck lad. Wheras think ahm from? Oop North, yooth?

No, someone sent it to me via email.
So there's a good chance it did come from t'Ribble Valley
