I Could Be Wrong, But...

...the following is the shortest English sentence to include all letters of the alphabet:

Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.

Almost sounds dirty.

As an expert in things that sound dirty, I'd have to say that there's no "almost" about it.

I believe it is:

"The quick, brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

Dave, it's "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" - jumps, not jumped; otherwise there's no "s."

Ah, the joys of typing class.

Couldn't come up with a shorter sentence, but I know "Sequoia" is the shortest word with all the vowels!

Facetiously and abstemiously have ALL the vowels in order, even the optional one!
