The un-indented 'paragraph with no Es' also begins with a question, doesn't it? Are you allowed to start a paragraph with a question mark? If so, is there nothing to prevent an entire paragraph of questions? What sort of chaos might that lead to?

I've read several paragraphs with just questions, many by reputable writers like Carl Sagan.

Wayfarer-- I only wish I were crackly Posted Sep 5, 2001
the unusual thing about this QUESTION is that it's been done before!!!!! well not exactly this one but one similar and w the same answer only a bit longer.

You can call me TC Posted Sep 5, 2001
It's quite clever though, because usually to avoid using a certain letter, you have to revert to some strange words to achieve this. By re-reading the paragraph and looking closely at the words that seem contrived, you can usually see what the questioner's up to. Anyway, I have now completed this paragraph without using the last letter of the alphabet once - which is enough achievement for me tonight!

Marmite is bad... ~Greebo frowns~.. very.. very bad... it's made by clowns in hell... and we all know how evil clowns are... ~Greebo glares~... spawn of the devil that they are... ~Greebo shivers~

Cheers Greebo 
do I have your permission for a no vote in my Marmite poll?

If no would mean that the marmite in question had to be burried in a hole no shorter than 100 miles from the surface of the planet... then of course you can...

I told you Greebo's view on Marmite!
Oh, and Greebo, my Moonlight shares your opinion of clowns. She hates them!
