Constructing one sentence without employing the first letter of the English lexicon is extremely difficult. However, with enough intelligence it is possible to pull it off. If you believe you possess the skill to do this, comment your longest sentence below :)

Okay but the french quote is actually really deep

As a french dude, i can confirm that this is exactly how our discord and keyboard looks like.

The biggest problem I’m confronted with is not being permitted to include the little three-letter-word which we overwhelmingly use to connect our sentences with. (You know which one.) Furthermore, it is unnerving to be forced to try to go without using the very common four-letter conjunction which “which” will sometimes substitute… Since substituting “which” works often, but sometimes it doesn’t, whereupon your sentence sounds very weird. But it’s nice finding out it’s possible to form tons of sentences I otherwise couldn’t form by using shortened versions of words, like “I’m” or “I’ve”. Some serious dodged bullets there, I guess.

The funny thing is - well, to be completely honest, I’m pretending I’m in some kind of book or movie scene right now where I’m cornered by one very eloquent (possibly bibliophile?) sphinx or something who will only let me live if I succeed in writing her this text without using the cursed letter. (Why this is the hoop she chooses to let me jump through? We’ll never know, but does she need motives? Nope. Like we know from hundreds of iconic sphinx riddle scenes, sphinxes don’t bother with stuff like motives.) I don’t know how much more I’m supposed to write though. I truly hope she’ll let me go soon - I’ve got some princes to rescue, curses to lift, mummies to roundhouse kick ’n stuff. Not too much time left for being cornered by bored sphinxes too indecisive to decide if my emcee skills rock enough for her not to devour me. I do enjoy the opportunity to show off my wordiness, but I must note I feel kind of pissed how I solved bunches upon bunches of riddles where everyone’s got weird numbers of legs or some shit for sphinx encounters like this one - for nothing. If I’d known this is the thing she would request me to do, I guess I would’ve listened to some more hip hop. Flipped through my lexicon, from time to time. Filled out the New York Times Crossword, I don’t know.

Yes, you could. It might not be the best thing you ever wrote, but it could be done. But such directives might well limit your thinking in order to meet this requirement. (You might notice in the previous sentence I needed to use the form of the word “directive” with -s on the end, the form used to convey number, which specific form I must not use since it includes the forbidden letter.) Furthermore, some of the wording might end up sounding odd or even downright puzzling, since the perfect word will sometimes be proscribed due to this rule. Oddly enough, one's writing is sometimes improved when the mind is forced to focus on something besides the content of the writing, like when one is struggling to write using complex poetic forms, so it is quite possible deeper portions of the self might serendipitously be retrieved using this rule, but I'm unsure whether such improvement might be completely lost to the contortionist thinking required to retrieve one's thoughts while forming their expression when so circumscribed. Bottom line, unless someone is kind enough to correct me, I think I've come up with something showing this is possible. But honestly I'm not sure why I bothered! I guess sometimes we enjoy testing our skills with words even though we know it's pretty much pointless.

I must mention this is quite difficult to do, however not impossible. This decision to type out sentences without the letter is humorous yet nice

In france, we have a 300 pages novel called "La Disparition" which doesn't contain a single 'e'. It's quite impressive since it's the most used vowel in french.

I find myself succeeding in writing sentences without the letter you mentioned.
In truth, it isn’t quite so difficult, which consequently lets me write multiple sentences.
I hope you enjoy looking through this short text, formed without one of English’s most common letters.
I feel slightly worried it might be here, without my intention, but I doubt it. Though I request you let me know if it is.

I once had to write 3 sentences with an exclamation mark, a question mark, and a period. So I wrote "This is a sentence." "This is a sentence!" "This is a sentence?" and the teacher accepted it. No one asked but I thought I'd tell a story about how I used as little words as possible to make a grammatically correct sentence for a school assignment and it worked

Yes it is entirely possible to write sentences without using the prior mentioned letter, even considering the need for it, so I believe it's entirely possible.

"Can you make a sentence without the letter E?"

I doubt I can. It's a major part of many many words. Omitting it is as hard as making muffins without flour. It's as hard as spitting without saliva, napping without a pillow, driving a train without tracks, sailing to Russia without a boat, washing your hands without soap. And, anyway, what would I gain? An award? A cash bonus? Bragging rights? Why should I strain my brain? It's not worth it.

The letter you mentioned is one of the frequently used letters of English.

However, I could try writing without using it.

I forgot your question mentioned only one sentence. But, why not two or three?

I believed it would be very simple but now I could feel the cognitive effort required to continue writing without using the mentioned letter.

Despite being very exigent, I feel the need to write more but other sentences by different writers will outstrip my content.

If you think, my writing does justice to the question, why don’t you press the like button below?

I could see you pressing it! Good Job :)

Forming one comprehensive sentence without the first letter of the English lexicon is incredibly difficult.
But, forming a good group of words that actually works is difficult.

Edit: The amount of people that turned up is quite shocking, and all of them are hostile, and also I have used both a and e. Sad

Also those who are accusing me of copying the description, please read it once again, this time with spectacles, because I have only used the word Lexicon from there.
