    E has a letter frequency of almost 13% in English, making it quite the task. In French, it's an even bigger task since it has a frequency of 15%, and German is at 16% (since all indefinite and definite (save for nominative/accusative neuter definite article) contains E).
    In Spanish, A is almost as frequent as E, and in Portuguese, A is actually more frequent at 15%, with E right behind. Esperanto, being a constructed language, as A at 12%, I at 10% and then E at 9%. Turkish is another language with A at 12% with E right behind. Polish as the top 4 as A, I, O, E, which might explain why Esperanto is as it is. Finnish top 5 is A, I, N, T, E, and a language with two consonants more frequent than E.
    So the point is, this task will change in difficulty depending on language, and that you can't use E for every language.

      My question is, is this the frequency in speech or in a list of words? Because words such as 'the' are used very, very often and have the letter e in them and so e appears a lot in language, more so than it would if all words had the same frequency. Words like floccinaucinihilipilification don't have an e in them, but they're used very rarely.
      What I'm trying to say is that it's much harder when core words have the letter e. Like the, as opposed to zygostatical, which no one would ever use and which would then falsely represent how common specific letters are in English speech.

It was kinda amazing how I couldn't think of a word that didn't contain it. Not kidding, most (if not all) of my words I was typing had it in it... It was almost magical.
    "Ugh! I can't do this... I quit. I didn't actually think I'd fail so badly at writing a story with such a dumb prompt... why did I try?" It was at this point that I thought I had lost, and that Matt had won. I almost just X'd out and forgot about it... but I didn't
    I don't know what it was, but out of thin air I got a strong want to finish it. No, it may not do as good as Gadsby or A Void... but it's not nothing...

    Reminds me of a little book called "Ella Minnow Pea" aka how it sounds to say lmnop quickly. It is about a little island which has some confusing lore surrounding it that I don't understand. Basically without spoiling anything, throughout the novel the author stops using certain letters of the English alphabet until all that is left is lmnop.
    It's super fun but can get a little hard to read near the end (it's starts looking like a shittier shitpost from Tumblr)

    On a similar note, there was a guy who wrote a physics paper without using any words of Latin origin and only anglo-germanic words titled "uncleftish beholding". Although, unlike Matt, he did that because he believed he was 'cleansing the English language of impurities'... I'll let you figure out how racist the guy was
    Edit:
    Forgive me, many people have correctly pointed out that Poul Anderson (the writer of uncleftish beholding) was not publicly racist- I had mistaken him for Australian composer Percy Grainger who did a similar thing of preferring to speak/compose using anglo-germanic words which he called "blue-eyed English" and was quite an open believer of aryanism.
    Also, the act of excluding words of certain origin in itself is not racist, such as Navajo wanting to preserve their heritage and history by not borrowing English words, but in the case of Grainger, his intent and motivation to exclude Greek, French and Latin words was racist.

    I think adding limitations to things is a good thing to do. With limitations, you put additional thought into actions you do and things you construct. Occasionally, it can add quality to your work, and also turn it into an opportunity for instruction.
    Plus, avoiding our fifth signary symbol did add fun to writing this.

    I’m starting to think that it might allow for a fascinating and difficult training of my mind to do this. Not for it’s practicality, but for a bit of inwards facing thought.
