oh pooo!

try this...

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

As a piece of written literature this paragraph has more than a few inconsistencies but the one that is most prominent to my eyes is the use of the contraction; 'I'm' at the beginning of the second sentence.
Also missing from the same sentence are the words 'as to' between 'curious how' - which is simply bad grammar, and the fact that the same sentence ends in a question mark when it is clearly just a statement.
In fact there is so much wrong with this paragraph in just the first line that I'm pretty sure the answer is one of the aforementioned mistakes.
I am guessing that it is the question mark that you were looking for though Frooky.

It's a lipogram - you won't find a word containing a non-consonant that is not a,i,o or u within its bounds. (That was also a lipogram :sofa:

)

Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

Isn't that a long winded way to say: look guys, no "e's"?

A lipogram until blatantly sabotaged.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

It's reversed alphabetival order, but close enough. No cigar, however.

Give us a new one.

Riddle us quick...Yup it was no e's...

Come on Lisheo! Riddle us quick...Actually you aint gonna see this until too late, so....

With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force its doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?
