A pangram is a sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet. Less frequently, such sentences are called holalphabetic sentences. One of the most famous one being “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.” Here is more info about pangrams, but the object of this meme is just to see your handwriting.
Go ahead and get a piece of paper, then write the sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.” Sign it with your first name or your handle (not your signature) and take a picture. Then post this and your picture on your blog! It is that simple… (Leave a comment here or a trackback once you have posted.) Link back, don’t be shy!
Thanks for the tip Brykmantra now it is also a Flickr Pool. Join us!
Also, feel free to use pangrams in other languages.
Here is mine…

I love it. Could say you like to do things your own way and look what you did. Lined paper but rather than follow the lines you wrote diagonally across. Still your writing goes uphill so you are optimistic, creative, able to expresss yourself fluidly, like to talk but are very self protective.

Did it!
