What's Wrong With This Sentence? The title is misleading. Actually it should be written as, "What's so special about this sentence?" In the old days, or still valid in today's typing classes, most learning how to type knew the significance of the sentence, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". For those who don't... In a way, it is almost equivalent in learning a computer language of how to output the following sentence to the computer screen, "Hello World!" In another words, almost a mandatory task. Here's a newer gem... What's so significant with the sentence below other than it is hard to understand at a first glance? "I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability transcendentalizes intercommunication's incomprehensibleness." On a completely different note, for all those who want to learn Mandarin, here's a link to how an Indian learnt the language. http://shanghaiist.com/2012/09/11/turbo-chinese-saurabh-sharma.php
