How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.>>>>> I will post the answer when the best/correct answer is chosen?

Andegirl is correct and will recieve the 10 points. the paragraph contains no "e" in english it is called a lipogram.

If you don't count the last sentence ("I will post the answer..."), the paragraph does not contain the letter 'e'. And I believe the letter 'e' is the most used letter in the English language so it is a very unusual paragraph, indeed.
If only I could have responded without using the letter 'e'!

The only thing I've noticed is that the last sentence "I will post the answer..." has a question mark behind it, not a period.

My guess is your use of "is" and "was." You use past and present tense in describing your paragraph.
"What IS unusual...." "Nothing WAS wrong with it..."
This is a good one.
