It would have to be a VERY lazy dog to allow a fox to jump over it anyway.

jumps over the lazy dog.

Otherwise there's no "s."

It tells a short story that's visual and full of words people know how to spell.

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.

counterpoint: quick broen fox is corporatized af while sphinx of black quartz has one hell of a vibe. you're right that the fox is comfy because the cozy zone is the only spot where fun and corpos intersect and this one just so happens to fall into it but keeping it people-centric was never the point.

case in point: the test sentence we use in my native language translates to "floodproof mirror drill" to test out all our weird diacritics. no autumn vibes there, only corpos
