    In the version I knew before seeing it in pen videos, it was 'a' quick brown fox — shorter without avoidable repetition of 'the'. An indeterminate gender seems appropriate for a fox that takes an indefinite article.

    What I want to know is what the Sphinx thinks of my vow. And what did she do with all those plaid jackets. I won't tell you what I did with the five dozen jugs of liquor, though.
