In conjunction with the Accent(s) thread, I've started this poll to get an idea of what we should say. If you click other, give me a suggestion and I'll construct another poll if OTHER is seeming most popular.

Lets do this, should actually be quite interesting.

It uses all the letters of the alphabet so we can see who misses what letter and how they pronounce it.

The brown fox is for typing, not speaking.

I think a short paragraph would be best, maybe look to take something that voice recognition software uses.

I made the thread with the intentions of picking out certain sentences.  That means that we're going to say ALL of the ones I listed...
"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
