I haven't got a hand question at the moment, and as it's close to my bedtime, would someone else please take over? No sense making 3/4 of you wait while I sleep. But for the non-Jack Reacher fans:
Can you speak non-stop (relatively) for one full minute without once saying a word that contains the letter "A?" Stitchawl |

I don't belive it could be done. It is simply impossible. Writing lots of words surely requires the use of the specified letter. It would be considered too difficult not to use this letter. I don't believe one could do it even if one needed to do it. If one did so, the prose would be too stilted or oddly concocted. If desired, I could go on forever concerning this point, but I think this is enough for now. I'm sure you get the gist by now. Even if it could be done, who would desire to do it?

Have I killed it? The answer is really sooooo simple and easy that a Kindergarten kid could say it...
OK... somebody come up with a better question please, just to keep things moving. Stitchawl |

Or is the answer to repeat "non-stop" over & over? |

All one needs to do is count out loud starting with one... As in one, two, three, four, five, six, etc. You won't get to an "A" until you reach one hundred And one... It should take you more than a minute to say all of those... Just like you did in Kindergarten! Stitchawl |

Stitchawl's clue about schoolchildren being not only able but required to do it is a good one. It is not as simple as simply repeating one or two words. |
