    Fith Grade (a poem)

    Somtie my words are difrent
    And they make me lok funy
    It's not tha I'm not lirate
    And I'm not goin nuty!

    It's just tha ther's this rule, se
    Wher my letrs can't rpeat
    Teach say my work is crapy
    But her desk is nevr neat!

    Don't judge al my mispelng
    Just pretnd I hit dlte
    Cause I think I'm excling
    And at least I din't cheat!

        The sad part is I proofread and double-checked before I submitted! Thanks for catching those.

    This is certainly a peculiar topic.

    I wrote a python script to produce an organized list of isogram words, longest first. I based it on this word list.

    The top ten regulations switzerland personality documentary copyrighted backgrounds republicans atmospheric demographic background

    Also, each word in this post is an isogram.

    10 letter isograms are good for making up a code to replace digits with letters. For example, PATHFINDER, P=0, A=1, T=2 and so on.

    I've heard of salesmen using this so they can write their minimum prices on the price tag in a code that's easy for them to remember.

    Edit: Oh I guess I heard about this on the wikipedia article for isograms, lol. makes sense
