      But in the sequel it's not a goose but a chameleon.

  Does this page not work with middle-click scrolling for anyone else?

    Looks like that may have been caught in the crossfire when they blocked right-clicking.

      >when they blocked right-clicking Which is a stupid thing to do.

  I kept expecting this to end with some silly grammatical pun. Like a shaggy-dog version of "Eats, shoots and leaves."

  Cool. The linked podcast explains that this passage was crafted to contain all the sounds of English and their combinations. https://www.paulmeier.com/2020/01/01/episode-24-dialect-coaching-film-tv/ https://www.paulmeier.com/2020/01/01/episode-24-dialect-coac... When I first read it, I glanced over the intro and the website and was expecting some play with commas completely changing the meaning.

    So: this would be an ideal passage to read to help a voice cloning system get a full sample of an English speaker's accent/tone?
