Read it CAREFULLY. If you can get it, you win the prize. What the prize is, I don't know. But you'll have my props. So yeah, what do you notice about this passage of text? Again, you'll need to read it CAREFULLY. |

Actually guys read it again. There is no letter E in the whole passage. This is the first paragraph of a 50,000 word novel with no letter E. it's called The Gadsby. http://www.spinelessbooks.com/gadsby/ |

That's pretty impressive to be able to right that much without using a word that has E in it. Kinda pointless but still cool xD |

Pointless? Wouldn't it describe how awesome you are at writing? Think about it... the most common words are out of your disposal... 'the' 'are' 'we' and almost all past tense words are no-no's. |

Now that you mention it i do see that but it looks like the whole thing is out of context, and messed up and there are a lot of errors in it. Thats the only thing aside from the "no letter 'E'" in the passage that caught my eye. |

Errors? As in how? If you mean that the words are kind of awkward, don't worry, that's a part of the writing style that the author is trying to convey. It's going to sound awkward anyway, because it obviously can't use the letter e. |
