I'm incredibly impressed that you managed to make that whole message without a single usage of the most frequently used letter, except in your quotations.

Such omission is a hobby of many WWW folk. I can, in fact, think back to finding a community on R*ddit known as "AVoid5", which had this trial as its main point.

Down with that foul fifth glyph! Down, I say!

Bet they asked an AI to make the bit work /s

    I did ask G'mini for synonyms. And to do a cursory count of e's in my post. Just as a 2nd opinion. It found only glyphs with quotation marks around it. It graciously put forward a proxy for that: "the fifth letter".

    It's not oft that you run into such alluring confirmation of your point.

    • I'm having my thumbs-up back >:(

      My first post took around 6 min & a dictionary. This post took 3. It's a quick skill.

      No LLMs. Ctrl+f shows you all your 'e's without switching away from this tab. (And why count it? How many is not important, you can simply look if any occur and that's it)
