Very cool. I wonder where the quote came from:
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the
store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese,
and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic
snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into
three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
Is it some sort of "the quick brown fox" quote, that tests a complete range of sounds? Anyone know the history?
- eugenejen 13y agoI think it is a tongue twister designed for observation of pronunciation. I read Edith Skinner's "Speaking with Distinction" and there are a lot of similar tongue twisters for practicing vowels and consonants clusters. Also you can find out a lot of old tongue twisters for English in elocution textbooks in 19th century from archive.org..
