Bringing Ingots
I noticed that the phrase "bringing ingots" uses the trigram "ing" three times in a row. I started to think how I could improve upon this number with other letter formations. Trying to form fairly sensible sentences (without repeating a word), I made these examples:Jill, I'll illuminate the room. (ILL, 3) Don't use a dull atlatl at late hours. (LAT, 4)and the not-too-contrived, monster:
Because asea seas ease a sea seal. (SEA, 7)If you strain the context a bit more, you can get it up to 8 instances:
Misease? Asea seas ease a sea seal! (SEA, 8)I'm sure I'll be looking for more examples.
