	A Loquacious Location of Lipograms
		That's right - this is a lipogram - a book, paragraph or similar thing in writing that lacks a symbol, particularly (but not always) that symbol fifth in rank out of our 26 script-signs (found amidst 'd' and 'f'), which stands for a sound such as that in 'kiwi'.

		The difficulty of a lipogram varies depending on which or how many letters are omitted as well as the length of the work.
		Georges Perec's famous novel La Disparition is a lipogram in "e" (it omits the letter e completely from the text, except for the author's name, that is), no easy feat as "e" is the most commonly used letter in the French (and English) languages.
		In his "History of the Lipogram", Perec traces the the lipogram from the 6th century B.C. -- Lasus of Hermione's poetry without the sigma -- to the 20th century -- Ernest Vincent Wright's novel without the letter 'e': Gadsby.

		A pangram (Greek: pan gramma, "every letter") or holoalphabetic sentence is a piece of text which uses every letter of the alphabet.
		Most pangrams are short, usually a single sentence: the aim in devising a pangram as a word game is to be as brief as possible.
		In a sense, the pangram is the opposite of the lipogram, where the aim is to omit one or more letters.
