And the time has passed, and the lipogrammatic restriction has been lifted. It really is quite challenging to write continuously without using that glyph; think of the sabotage one could do if the whole world's "e" keys went mysteriously missing. It was most difficult to speak in past tense, because of all the -ed suffixes, as well as comparatively, because of the -er; and the present participle, because of the -en. This language really uses a hell lot of "e"s. But well, it was kinda fun while it lasted, but I didn't really talk much to many people.
Egad!
