      As a non-native yet quite fluent speaker of English, I was wondering where the letter s was supposed to be in the example above. Thanks for pointing out the very obvious thing anyway, brains can fart at times.

        The full sentence is, “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

        Intent is to use every letter of the English alphabet. Thing is, I’ve heard “jumped” for decades now which ironically leads to s being skipped. I say ironically because it’s one of the most commonly used letters.

          Huh, I don’t know where I got it from but I always typed it as this: “the quick little brown fox jumps over the back of the lazy dog” tried googling it just now and all I got was the shorter one.
