“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is an English-language pangram, that is, a phrase that contains all of the letters of the English alphabet. It has been used to test typewriters and computer keyboards, and in other applica-tions involving all of the letters in the English alphabet. Owing to its brevity and coherence, it has become widely known. The earliest known appearance of the phrase is from The Michigan School Moderator, a journal that provided teach-ers with education-related news and sugges-tions for lessons. In an article titled “Interesting Notes” in the March 14, 1885 issue, the phrase is given as a suggestion for writing practice.
As the use of typewriters grew in the late 19th century, the phrase began appearing in typing and stenography lesson books as a practice sentence. Early examples of publications which utilized the phrase include Illustrative Shorthand by Linda Bronson (1888), How to Become Expert in Type-writing: A Complete Instructor Designed Especially for the Remington Typewriter (1890), and Type-writing Instructor and Stenographer’s Hand-book (1892). By the turn of the 20th century, the phrase had become widely known. In the January 10, 1903, issue of Pitman’s Phonetic Journal, it is referred to as “the well known memorized typing line embrac-ing all the letters of the alphabet”. Robert Baden-Powell’s book Scouting for Boys (1908) uses the phrase as a practice sentence for signalling.
