gollark: Well, in that case, it's this sort of thing: > The only perfect pangrams of the English alphabet that are known either use abbreviations, such as "Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx", Roman numerals such as “Fjord Nymphs XV beg a quick waltz”, or use words so obscure that the phrase is hard to understand, such as "Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz"
gollark: I suppose if you're disallowing abbreviations there are some shorter ones which work, at least.
gollark: It's pretty useful that "btw I use Arch" doesn't contain any repeated letters.
