Can you Solve the Mystery?

This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

The letter “e”, which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

Well… the letter ‘e’ is conspicuously absent. But then, you already pointed that out.

Hmmm…. grammatically, it could use a little help, but that is to be expected, given the limitation of not using that ‘oh-so-important- vowel… ‘e’.
