456: Pangram Mar 8, 2016

A 'pangram' is a sentence or a short piece of writing which contains every letter in the alphabet. For an example in English, “the quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is a pangram. Pangrams are loosely defined however, and as such, other languages, like Arabic which uses a script in which letters change shape depending on their position, and like Hebrew, uses diacritical marks to represent what would be in English, vowels, make pangrams rather up to interpretation.
