Bit of a riddle for you....
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. :wonder: |
Got it..
SPOILER ALERT None of the words have the letter "e" in them. |
It is grammatically correct, which makes it unusual for Scoobynet.

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? :D |
Got it by the third line, what do i win? :)

Is "aint" grammatically correct?
Les :) If you think about it: Aren't I is appalling English... Are I not. When written like that it just looks wrong. |

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

Whoops sorry Les - didn't see the missing ' :D
Please accept my humblest apologies for doubting your lexicographic prowess ;) |
