Riddle to end all riddles...(hopefully)
Warning, this riddle is a hard mofo. In fact it's so hard I don't even have the answer. You are welcome to use your favorite search engine for this one. I've scoured hundreds of Google results so far trying to verify an answer. I've only found one reference to it, but not the direct answer. But I promise you, there IS a straighforward answer and this IS a solvable riddle. Anyways, here it is:
There is at least one sentence in the english language that can be spoken but is impossble to correctly write down (or type up, whatever the case may be).
The only reference to this riddle I've been able to find online is at this guy's page. Read his answer to his FAQ #3 question.
I have heard the answer before so I know it's legit. I just don't remember it at the moment. Good luck. I really hope some knows this, it's driving me nuts.

Does that make sense? | |

Interesting OuT, I was just telling my buds a few riddles yesterday. Never heard this one before though.
Hmmm...
