Re: Sentence

[STRIKE]Dear Sir,[/STRIKE] Unnecessary. You're not writing a formal letter and we are not all men.

Is this sentence correct?

"You write b, c, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, p, q, s, v, x and z."

Look very carefully at the corrections above. They are similar to the corrections that GoesStation made in your other thread. You need to work on your punctuation. A question must end with a question mark.
You must put a space after every full stop, comma, question mark and exclamation mark.

Your sentence is grammatical but I have no idea why you would ever want to write it. What are you trying to achieve here?

I gave you the most famous pangram in British English in one of your other threads:

A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Why do you need a pangram with fewer than 30 letters?

Re: Sentence

You can spend as much time as you want creating your own pangram, but many already exist, and you'll struggle to find shorter ones than these:

  • Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.
  • Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf.
  • Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
  • The five boxing wizards jump quickly.
  • How vexingly quick daft zebras jump!
  • Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim.
  • Two driven jocks help fax my big quiz.
