Did you know goats climb tall willowy argan plants, swallow many argan nuts, and poop out argan oil for our skin?

Ask Claradoon all about it! Claradoon knows this, and is truly brilliant!

Is it raining or snowing in your town?

No, it’s a sunny day, a few clouds

It sounds as if your town is warm, or possibly hot.
I wish it wasn't cold in my town, although I don't want any bright sunlight. Sunlight hurts so much!

Do you wish you could fly through puffy clouds?

Do you play hip-hop, folk, rap, disco, or rock music?

Do you paint or draw?

Too-da-loo for now,
Is

Cant say any word with"e" in it?

Wait, why not? You cant possibly say anything substantial without using such an important part of ordinary vocabulary. Its the most common symbol in the most common form of communication. I cant think of any way I could post an entire post without touching it, at minimum, a solitary count. I could try, but I’m not particularly good at this sort of thing! Im sorry to say that I find that I’m linguistically stuck right now. So I think I’ll pass, for I doubt I could do it. Its just such a major part of so many words. Omitting it is way too hard. I lack any ability to do so. Further along, I can try again if I work hard for it. But right now, it just is not going to work. And anyway, what would I gain? Without an award, its just not worth it.

Bravo! Your twisting of symbols and connotations into paradoxical flights of fancy is most worthy of an award, in my opinion. :D

I found two words that don't follow our protocol, but I didn't want to sound unkind. ^ 8O

Darn it! First axiom of proofing - don't succumb to skimming! I ought to know that by now! :oops:

^^

It was a valiant try, and I applaud its high amount of skill. On occasion, I find that I may look too picky about small things or I can cast an air as if I'm acting snobby, but I was just following our instructions. I follow all instructions without fail or omission.

Sorry if I didn't sound kind.

Good job, and thanks for writing such a long post!

Whatcha talking about? How is it not going to work? You almost had it!
Just a small bit to fix up in that and it could turn out just right.

If you think you can do it you may just find you can.
And in a bit it may just flow out of you.
Pull out that dictionary in your mind, lotsa words in that thing I'd think.

A kit of tools and tricks can afford a bit of ability too.
- Don't stick to good grammar too hard.
- You can hash it back out a bunch. Do that again and again.
- And you can always control-f for that glyph to find if you miss any in what you go to submit in your post.

Or what your OS has if it's a Mac and not a Windows or Linux box. Is it not control-f for "find"?

I think you can think of lots of things to say without using that glyph.
But not all of it's such good stuff to say, as in you could put a bunch of bad four-glyph words to a ton of work.
But not on this forum, or just around good company in all truth.

But don't work too hard on this silly thing.

I just did. Way, way too hard.

I would say that participation in this, or any such, pursuit ought to imply humility should application of its laws by a fair arbitrator find infractions. To folks of a touchy disposition who cannot stomach such highlighting of an anomaly, I would hint strongly at bowing out. But I concur with you, it was a valiant try, if not so amazing as that of our compatriot who assists us with tips for confirming conformity with our pursuit's goal.

Good Job! I actually put "entire" in-most authors wouldnt have caught it which is a fun trick to pull-but "further" was a good catch- I couldnt spot that.
Im going to try again now. I think I can do it. Oh look, I just did. Oh wow, I did it again. Amazing! This is kind of difficult but fun! I can go on and on. :D
