The quick brown cat jumped over the lazy dog

it is a stupid example of pointless typing practice
as useful as typing "computer" a thousand times over
no matter how many times you practice, you'll never type "z" very efficiently
so give it up

try typing things that matter
... please don't fire me big boss man
... I'm sorry I lit your house on fire
... electrostatic shock is a serious concern for hackers the world over
