You mean in talk?
How is it that only word with said symbol in it you guys bring up is a synonym of talk? 2nd word Also in this chunk of words has said symbol. A synonym of smart also has said symbol, and a word symbol is instead, and both words in front of this.
(God I am so sorry have fun deciphering my gibberish)
@Willy Osigian i know that’s why I abbreviated it lol, I guess it doesn’t really work
My writing instructor had us do a short story this way. I did a story about a dog. I stuck putty on that unlawful symbol to avoid touching it unknowingly and did turn to a book of synonyms continually.
If you cut out "Th_" and add in "Said" in its spot, this will carry on with said story, or pass for a thing from its kind, anyways.
@@NickWrightDataYT good catch! That sly unlawful symbol, always finding ways of slinking into what I said! 😑
I saw that “Miranda Wyatt” also did not contain such an unlawful symbol. “Spottyrul#s”, to my dismay, follows not said law.
@@mirandawyatt77 That's why I did ctrl + F to proof my writing.
P.S. I would say "I did a story about a dog", not "Said story I did..." it flows in a natural way. You may not want that input, though.
@@peterlewis2178 thank you for advising. “Said” was an occasion of substitution for an unlawful symbol that snuck in. I was conscious of its clumsy sound. Your organization of this wording is good.
"In pushing forward our own story, it is usually a good thing to act ambitiously and to not fall victim to limits that us as individuals lay down.
It is of paramount import that any and all of us not stick to said limitations".

That was goo'd' run
I am proud at how smooth your inscription is. With my paragraphs, I occasionally look at synonyms and my writing is fairly choppy. Yours sounds almost akin to normal communication, and for that, I applaud you.
@Practithilogistioanithioligistionists 'Sentence'
“I am loving you now, always did and always will, dad.” Problem solved.
It is surprisingly amazing that you found linguistic situations in which you couldn’t talk with said symbol! I’m proud.
Georges Perec, a French writer, has also written an entire book without using the letter "e", in spite of it being the most used letter in the French language. It's called "La Disparition", and it is more than three hundred pages long.
was that the one that was translated into multiple languages while still following the same limitation?
@@mcrawfish Indeed, I believe it is. It makes it all the more impressive!
Someone else mentioned an English translation, A Void.
Did he write his name in the book?
@@10ytrewq sure hope not
Another cool book with this gimmick is "A Void". It's a lot of fun and said gimmick is part of the plot.
i did not know this, much appreciated
Love the title’s pun, very clever
also was first written in French without the letter E and then translated to English also without it, so double fun for any you Canadian fellas out there
@@pizzajoke3561 a voi d?
@@rightproperlad oh that's interesting, the e is more used than the a in french I believe, so it'd be like like writing a book in english without any "a" in it
That symbol prior to "f" is a tricky guy to avoid.
i can concur with this proposition, it is a humongous task to avoid said distinct glyph that you point to. i can only think of what a task of that proportion would look similar to, but it would always show to us as a crazy big job.
It's impressive how he does this
2:16 "I'm doing this thing where--" you failed at this moment and could've already called your dad at this point good job
Let’s say the line was “wh-“ and call it even
@@MattColbo You clearly said whar.
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.
Why are you everywhere
@@mx_ae because I exist everywhere
E
@@EEEEEEEE E
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.
"I am loving you, Dad."
This is without doubt a profoundly exciting culmination of your vocabulary. Picking words without having 'that' symbol in it is difficult no doubt (as I am coming to this conclusion by writing this), but managing to finish this artwork with a convincing story is out of this world. My two thumbs up for this.
Your word post your sixth word has said symbol in it.
@@rochops6272 make it amazing instead
Exciting
That is crazy
I love you, Matt!!!! I'll be back in Vermont, soon. Enjoying your work from my summer spot just outside London, UK.
There is a French writer (Georges Perec) who wrote a whole book, entitled "La Disparition", without the letter "e".
Which is a lot harder in French
E
You know, “Your mother” contains the letter E. So I’m predicting that’s how this video ends.
Edit: it wasn’t
I made the same prediction
E
"Your father" also contains E lol
The word "use ". He can't "use" the letter E
vidEo has the said symbol too
“Gadsby” actually has 3 of that fifth glyph within it’s writings. It is still worthy of admiration, just not claims of infallibility.
(No e’s, except in these brackets)
3 is cheating though
@@bluestrawberry679 solution: it has one plus two of the fifth glyph
@@galaxyguy4247 this glyph is still in your words.
@@nefrace just put "That" in that word that contains that fifth glyph
That is appalling. I will put forth a proposition that many individuals should scorn Wright for this horrific miscalculation.

prior to F
Wow! Fantastic job my pal, I just saw your production about not using “a”, and it was actually crazy. Good job!
I'm gonna try this out by writing a small story:
"My god this is hard"... I say, trying to think of a story that won't contain said symbol. "How did Matt do this? It's so hard to not slip up and say it." 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...
so I thought of this story... which I'd say isn't half bad
At first I thought you said, "Matto", quoting a man producing rapid photographs on this amazing platform. I was wrong though, as obviously this man you thought of is not who I was thinking of. I must say to you I am sorry for my stupidity.
Now go on with your night and fall into a state of unconscious with many joys. Goodnight.
Unoriginal chat: I fuck'd up.
I like how the reason "Chris" paused after what Matt said, it was to figure out how many E's were in the sentence he just said and not which letter comes before F.
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.
"Motelore" was right there
This sentence does not contain a single word with the letter "J", "Q", "Y", and "Z" in it, so does this sentence.
That's Anglish, right?
A noble pursuit. The damn language would make way more sense if that happened.
@@ChadKakashi
The latin is not a problem, what truly messed up the english language to the point were the grammar is almost nonexistent (and what's little that's left is nonsensical) was the french influence after the Normans conquered England.
I both understood all of this, and none of this at the same time.
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.
You failed, produce has an E
@@TheColtster933 Dammit
@@Kain_cee hey, at least you fixed it
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)
That book is really neat
Sounds very intriguing
Amazing work Matt, I hold in truth that nothing is out of your skill ground.

I am going to try to say this without that symbol, just as you did. This production shows that you can do vastly smart things, for I am having to find many words by googling synonyms during typing, and much of this grammar is probably wrong, but this is a fun thing to do. Wow that was hard, but I'm glad I got my point across 😂
What a good production this was. Said production was funny and I think you should obtain a crown. I am happy to say that I will join you in not saying or typing said symbol.

Matt, i am so glad that you found a way to post this clip without using that symbol. I can truly say thank you for that. That symbol that is in front of F is all about our linguistic world. I ask you this, was it truly worth your dad having a casing shot into his arm?
In front? 🤨
except that F is "eff". "fifth symbol in alpha-sort" ;)
nice comment
Ok this is amazing but hear me out :
fun fact : in my language ( which is french ) there is a word for books like this, without a specific letter, and the word is "lipogramme"
(C'est une figure de style)
And finally, there is this french writer Georges Pérec, and that man wrote a 300 pages book without the letter E. The book is called " La Disparition ".
Moreover, the letter E is the most used is the french language, so you can imagine the difficulty
So,yep, this man is incredible
La Disparition was translated into English, also without the letter e, and renamed to “A Void”
@@treyebillups8602 well thank you ! I didnt know that

My brain cells were hurting so bad. I can't describe that felling in word
I wonder if he wrote his monologue at the beginning down, and read it or had it remembered or if he just came up with it on the spot while filming. That would have been so difficult
"It's impossible to make a sentence without the letter 'e' in it."
"Wow! I can't find a flaw in that logic!"
"It is beyond any ability to form a chain of vocabulary without a particular Latin symbol that is prior to 'f' in said chain of vocabulary."
Speaking without using the letter e basically forces you to use more complicated words to communicate, hence you sound smarter
I just love all pauses to avoid probably saying “The.”
"Arm? That's not gonna kill him"
this idea is the most randomest,, unique, but great idea
This is a thing that most humans find difficult. Trying to find the words that don't have this symbol is almost similar to finding a pin in a haystack
This short film was such a thrill to watch, I wish I could do such loquacios and surprising tricks that you did. I truly glorify your capability in british idiomas. Good job! I look forward to similar original productions from you
P.S.: I finally did it, a _dictum_ that contains not that un-said symbol
“You are an idiot” the way you said that was hilarious.

Considering even the word "the" is off the table, writing anything without the letter "E" is impressive.

Golly! Doing said thing is, in fact, variably difficult in long form writing. Bravo as always, Colbo!
I can’t understand how I did not notice the dictation of that particular symbol. What a fool I am.
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. I find I’m not thinking of my words or my own dictation mostly, not as a young mirror may. And this brings a stimulus I say is not too dissimilar to mindful rumination, a focus long lost.
I wanted to say meditation and mindful rumination was about the best I could manage. SMH.

I think that this skit puts forth food for thought for the mind of individuals such as I, and with that in mind it imports a grand trial on my brain to think of a way to display my thoughts in a way that strings words in joint fashion that do not contain a particular symbol that follows "D" and is but one symbol shy of "F".
