I've often thought how strikingly easy it seems to be to produce sentences that have probably never been written before.
For example:
I am typing these words on a mobile phone whilst sat on a train to an airport, wearing a green jacket, brown shoes and a maroon hat with a black bag containing gifts for my children.
That seems a fairly prosaic sentence at first glance but I doubt has been written before.

- iainmerrick 7y agoI’m sure I’ve read (in the context of Google searches) that it’s very easy to write a sentence that’s never been written. Most sentences on HN are probably completely unique.
