    Ok, there is no real prize to this contest, you just get to be called amazing, because this is really hard. Ok, find whats wrong with the following paragraph;


    Do you know what's wrong with this paragraph? Most humans don't. If you find out what's wrong with it, say it now. Most ivy school kids can't find out what's wrong with this paragraph. Can you?



    Ok, that was the paragraph. Figure out what was wrong with it. Well, maybe i shouldn't say wrong, but what's Weird about it............


    EDIT: BTW, my WoC teacher gave me 40 points of extra credit for figuring it out, and it took me 4 days.

    Ok, it's not a gramattical error, or a spelling error, its just a very weird paragraph.

    they don't have to be indented, that's just what english teachers tell you, but they're evil.

    You win :) The letter"e" is the most commonly used letter in the english alphabet, but it is not used once in this paragraph.

    But then, that means that there is nothing wrong with the paragraph.
    It is unusual, but not wrong.
