Quick frowzy judges box the limp van

[Paramah Sungelee]

"Quick frowzy judges box the limp van.". Is the sentence grammatically correct? Thanks in advance.

 

[teechar]

Who wrote it?

 

[slevlife]

It's grammatically correct but incredibly contrived (nearly nonsensical). A comma should be added between "quick" and "frowzy."

The sentence looks like it was designed to use all letters of the English alphabet using as short a sentence as possible.

If I'm right about the author's intention, this sentence wildly succeeds. I checked, and it includes all 26 letters while using correct grammar and real words, with a total of just 30 letters.

[STRIKE]Thanks in advance.[/STRIKE] Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by clicking on the Thank button.

Note my corrections above. When a full stop appears inside quotation marks, don't put another one after the closing quotation mark. Also, please note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should be unique and relevant to the thread, and should contain some/all of the words/phrases/sentences you are asking us about. Title such as "Grammar" (your original) are completely useless.

Also remember that you must tell us the source and author of any text you post here if you did not write it yourself.

I write the sentence.But I was not sure whether it is correct.however the van is toy made of clay

 

[Paramah Sungelee]

You are absolutely right. I write the sentence to be used as a pangram.

 

[5jj]

I wrote the sentence.

Congratulations.

 

[Paramah Sungelee]

Thank you very much Sir.

I [STRIKE]write[/STRIKE] wrote the sentence no full stop here but I was not sure whether it is correct. space after a full stop

However, the van is toy made of clay.

I have no idea what your final sentence above means.

You are absolutely right. I [STRIKE]write[/STRIKE] wrote the sentence to be used as a pangram.

Thank you very much. [STRIKE]Sir[/STRIKE]

Please don't refer to users here as "Sir". It is overly formal and suggests you assume the user is male.

The 'van' in the sentence is a toy made of clay.That's why it is a limp van.

 

[slevlife]

Justifying your choice of words doesn't help at all because the sentence will remain ridiculous and unclear regardless of explanation. But as a pangram, it's great. Well done.

Most pangrams don't make sense. There's no point carefully explaining what you meant by "limp van" without explaining what "quick frowzy judges" are or how, indeed, they could "box" a van (toy or otherwise).

In post #9, I clearly showed you that you must put a space after a full stop. You then wrote post #10 and failed to put a space after the full stop. We need to see that you are taking notice of our advice. If we have to keep making the same corrections over and over again, we will quickly tire of helping you.

Thank you very much. [STRIKE]Sir[/STRIKE].

You don't appear to have found the Thank button yet.

It's in the bottom left-hand corner of every post (except your own).

Well, I was impressed by the pangram. It is grammatically correct and, within the context of pangrams, makes sense. I, a native speaker, have tried my hand at pangrams over the years and have never managed a better one in only thirty letters.

 

[slevlife]

Yes, I hope our comments didn't make you feel bad about it. I've never seen a better pangram that short! The fact that you wrote it even without being fluent or a native speaker is doubly impressive.

I prefer the age-old pangram - The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. It rhymes, is easy to register, and makes more sense. I believe you borrowed the first two words from there.

 

[5jj]

It doesn't rhyme.

That's fewer letters than the standard Quick brown fox sentence. :up:

Yes, it is. Paramah has been working on this project for almost four months. (link)

He should have opened with this context.
