The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
 

What can you tell me about this sentence?

Contains every letter of the alphabet :upsidedow

Default sample text in every font program out there.

Google is your friend? :1orglaugh

welcome to 1885...

C'mon, back in the day, when you had to take typing in school, we ALL knew that this sentence had every letter in it.

Wasn't that obscure of a reference...


(or maybe I'm just old... :helpme )


.

They didn't have Google when I was in Kindergarten.

If you want to guard the chicken coop, a dog is useless.

I don't think they teach typing anymore do they? I remember I had it in the 7th grade, on actual old school typewriters. And I was awesome at it too. The teacher wanted to fuck me.

i learned that back when i didt have interenets :D

I failed typing :(

First semester I did ok, but the second our teacher put little covers over all the letters. :(

You mean you personally didn't know it before?

I hope your teacher was a she :1orglaugh

Mine was a she, but she dressed out at about 300 lbs. :Oh crap

Nope, after 43 years on this planet.

I've always heard you learn something new every day. :)

I still have not learned anything today. :helpme Hanging out until I do. :)

Sounds like something Fatfoo would say.

I think i learned this in 6th grade?

Indeed... BTW where is he? :)

After calling Internet Explore a "dog" this became firefox's motto.

:1orglaugh

Its now called Keyboarding and required by many schools...:winkwink:

Simple schoolboy information

Nah, it's just logical that a silly sentence like that wasn't randomly chosen to preview a font (as AMP mentioned earlier). :pimp

I knew it sounded familiar, but didn't actually remember it was used in typing class because every letter is in it...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yeah they still have typing class, its on the computer though. My school just implemented it on computers I want to say when I made it to the third grade through 9th we had computer typing class.

I picked up the valuable skills of typing quickly and reading a text while typing it out at the same time and not looking at the keyboard (very helpful)

Shhhh, don't wake him... :Oh crap

You would probably shoot the dog, and the fox... :Oh crap

when i first learned that, they didn't have computers we still used typewriters.

google is the bitch
