An Unusual Paragraph
This is an unusual paragraph. 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!

It's an UNUSUAL Paragraph but there's nothing WRONG
with it. A standard paragraph has a topic sentence.
The other sentences in the paragraph SUPPORT the
topic sentence. Think about it.

There can be no prize, nor reward.

I'm sure this isn't it, but the paragraph has no subject.

There's a helluva lot of "it"(s) in that paragraph...
Sorry, that's the best I can come up with!

Good one Rayvn!!! "E" is the most common letter in English. To have a whole paragraph without using it is very unusual!

Only Warrior wins a date with me. You just get an accolade or two.

Well, I didn't see any reflexive pronouns, indentation, or use of the vocative case. of course, you used exclamation points in inappropriate places. Ag, sighhhhhhhhh.

I'm just being difficult. I need to keep in practice, or I go through withdrawals.
