This paragraph is so ordinary, you may say "what is wrong with this paragraph?" out loud. Truthfully, this paragraph is totally usual minus one thing. What is so unusual about this paragraph, you ask? Study it for a bit; it is obvious. You'll know if your notion is right if you study through a long sitting.

HINT: Once again, there are NO spelling or grammar mistakes anywhere in the paragraph. If there are, they aren't the unusual item.

HINT 2: On a test, this is the answer that often represents "None of the above".

So, with this said, can you figure out what is so unordinary about the paragraph? You may not feel entirely intelligent when you get it.

What's wrong with it is there is nothing to do with coasters in it.

LOL, there is no "e" in it, which is one of the most common letters in the english language.

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

Sorry for not responding for a while, I've been out of town. The answer is that there are no "e's" anywhere in the paragraph. Somebody mentioned that there was one earlier on, but I am yet to find it.

Just for that, you should be banned [8D]

how the riddle really goes.....

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious 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

There are some punctuation mistakes in the paragraph and a word that needs to be capitalized.

you may say "what is wrong with this paragraph?" out loud.

It should be written like this:

you may say, "What is wrong with this paragraph?", out loud.

The paragraph really doesn't make any sense. That's the only thing unusual in the whole paragraph.

Unfortunately he wrongly typed this riddle so my only reasoning is that he was put up by The Riddler to keep us pre-occupied while he replaces all of the exchange tracks with copies of The Riddlers Revenge!

It needs to be a paragraph, plus it does not have a comma in it.
