[@Liggliluff]

E has a letter frequency of almost 13% in English, making it quite the task. In French, it's an even bigger task since it has a frequency of 15%, and German is at 16% (since all indefinite and definite (save for nominative/accusative neuter definite article) contains E). In Spanish, A is almost as frequent as E, and in Portuguese, A is actually more frequent at 15%, with E right behind. Esperanto, being a constructed language, as A at 12%, I at 10% and then E at 9%. Turkish is another language with A at 12% with E right behind. Polish as the top 4 as A, I, O, E, which might explain why Esperanto is as it is. Finnish top 5 is A, I, N, T, E, and a language with two consonants more frequent than E. So the point is, this task will change in difficulty depending on language, and that you can't use E for every language.

[@kjn3350]

My question is, is this the frequency in speech or in a list of words? Because words such as 'the' are used very, very often and have the letter e in them and so e appears a lot in language, more so than it would if all words had the same frequency. Words like floccinaucinihilipilification don't have an e in them, but they're used very rarely. What I'm trying to say is that it's much harder when core words have the letter e. Like the, as opposed to zygostatical, which no one would ever use and which would then falsely represent how common specific letters are in English speech.

[@bhargavkulkarni9580]

On a similar note, there was a guy who wrote a physics paper without using any words of Latin origin and only anglo-germanic words titled "uncleftish beholding". Although, unlike Matt, he did that because he believed he was 'cleansing the English language of impurities'... I'll let you figure out how racist the guy was Edit: Forgive me, many people have correctly pointed out that Poul Anderson (the writer of uncleftish beholding) was not publicly racist- I had mistaken him for Australian composer Percy Grainger who did a similar thing of preferring to speak/compose using anglo-germanic words which he called "blue-eyed English" and was quite an open believer of aryanism. Also, the act of excluding words of certain origin in itself is not racist, such as Navajo wanting to preserve their heritage and history by not borrowing English words, but in the case of Grainger, his intent and motivation to exclude Greek, French and Latin words was racist.

"It's impossible to make a sentence without the letter 'e' in it." "Wow! I can't find a flaw in that logic!"

"It is beyond any ability to form a chain of vocabulary without a particular Latin symbol that is prior to 'f' in said chain of vocabulary."

[@gunnerulrich9209]

There's a book besides the one you mentioned that is written based on a similar concept. It's called "Eunoia", I believe, and it's written by Christian Bok. Each chapter is dedicated to a vowel. That's right. There's a chapter where the only allowed vowel is U...

I feel like setting a word count and doing this for each letter of the alphabet would be an incredible way to improve your vocabulary

[@fallenhuman2081]

wow this is so epic! had to go and check out the Gadsby book! soooo neat....

[@Mrmoocows99]

Writing without that fifth glyph is a difficult hill to climb and having to think hard about how you form your thoughts. I find it good for growing your mind (a strong vocabulary is good to hold), and thinking about what you say prior to saying it, allowing you to hold an illustrious sway in what you say, as you say things in a calm rhythm. Words with strong connotation sound additionally profound, as most will distinguish your scrutiny and how mindful you show forward.

nice lmao

[@epacgames9197]

You could also say symbol. It won't ruin your trial of avoiding that mark.

I’m starting to think that it might allow for a fascinating and difficult training of my mind to do this. Not for it’s practicality, but for a bit of inwards facing thought. I find I’m not thinking of my words or my own dictation mostly, not as a young mirror may. And this brings a stimulus I say is not too dissimilar to mindful rumination, a focus long lost.

[@PhaythGaming]

I wanted to say meditation and mindful rumination was about the best I could manage. SMH.

Bro got this right into the alorithm of this app and I'm happy for him

[@tnt5fourty]

He actually did use the letter “E” when he said the word “where”. I’m surprised I don’t see anyone else calling it out

[@kpdelaney6460]

He also used it when he said minute

I read Gadbsy by Ernest Vincent Wright at the start of the year. It's incredibly dry and boring, but I have to give the man credit... I wrote a short review for the book without using the letter E and it was painful!!

[@carsonjohnson5834]

My grammar and composition class had us do this on a research essay about elephants. It was actually pretty fun to work on, regardless of how challenging

[@officialzelensky]

i like how this makes his sentences fancy

[@no-one-1]

3:07 Matt said part of a word containing said symbol, which still counts as using a word with that symbol in it. I'm also not using it in this post.
