Re: .2
Looking at the remaining letters, I suggest:
"Mr. Fox, PhD, TV quiz jock, began wisely."
The "Fox" and "wisely" complement each other, making it a little less
forced. It does use E, O and I twice each.

| Uhmmm. It would probably be regarded as more sporting if you could
find a Mr. Abcdfghjknopqtuwxyz someplace, either literary or real life.

If you did find Mr. A*z, he would probably pronounce his name
as "Smith" -- all the letters are silent...

| Well, since .0 asked for it:

I don't have it memorized (and can't understand it when I read it),
but there was a poem composed a few hundred years ago, in which
every syllable of Japanese was used exactly once. The language
has changed a little bit since then, so some cheating has to be
done in the pronunciation, but the correspondence is still 1-1.
When making an ordered list in Japanese, there are three ways of
designating the members. One is numeric, 1), 2), 3), etc. One is
syllables in alphabetical order, a), i), u), e), o), ka), ki), etc.
And one is the syllables in the order of that poem.
Anyway, it is a pangram.

622.9 | Some Dutch Pangrams | EFGV04::LEE | | Mon Sep 03 1990 10:56 | 31 |
| Here are some Dutch pangrams cross-posted with the author('s/s') permission
from ULYSSE::LINGUISTICS (note 76).
The first 3 are new ones made up by the author, the last 4 are from a book
"Opperlandse Taal- and Letterkunde" by Battus.
It _would_ be nice to get lots more in other languages (with translations if
possible).
1) Maffe quaker zocht pyrexglas dat wijn bevat.
[ Lazy quaker sought pyrexglas which contains wine ].
2) Zeg befaamde squaw, kocht je vinyl en triplex?
[ Tell me famous squaw, did you buy vinyl and triplex ?].
3) Zijn ferme squaw Bep kocht vlug de lynx.
[ His resolute squaw Bep quickly bought the lynx ].
a) Och, ginds zwak vormpje blijft exquis.
[ Ah, yonder weak little mould remains exquisite ]
b) Z'n dom exquis wijfje bracht vlug kip.
[ Such a stupid exquisite little wife brought chicken quickly ]
c) Exwelp vond bak, schrijft gymquiz.
[ Ex-cubscout found bin, writes gym-quiz ]
d) Dwong klamp bij ex-tv-schrijfquiz.
[ (I) forced clamp at ex-TV-writing quiz ].
