Editing Pangram (section)

==Short pangrams==
Short pangrams in English are more difficult to devise and tend to use uncommon words and unnatural sentences. Longer pangrams afford more opportunity for humor, cleverness, or thoughtfulness.

The following are examples of pangrams that are shorter than "[[The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog]]" (which has 35 letters) and use standard written English without abbreviations or proper nouns:
