This is an unusual paragraph. I am 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!
What say ye????

I say you should double space between sentences, and cut the italics, my old eyes have trouble reading it. :D

Very cool. There was a French novelist in the 19th century (I think) who wrote an entire novel without using the letter "e" even once. What's just as impressive, is that it was then translated into English, and still lacked all the "e"s.
