Toiling to jot down words without a particular sign

Lipograms pick a sign to omit and talk about things without words that contain that sign. This can fill paragraphs with unusual combinations of words, but many normal constructions will also still show up anyway. I'm happy to jot down so many words that follow this constraint, which brings about

@Thales_Curiosities @tao

Not just maths… The text of #RaymondQueneau's 1947 "Exercices de style" (translated as Exercises in Style), which showcases different writing constraints among which the #lipogram (text avoiding strictly the usage of one or more letters of the alphabet) …has an *e* right in the middle of its lipogram in e.

Hum… Chercher pour le coup cette note bleue, voyons elle est où cette note inouïe et qui vibre pour l'unisson des sentiments ?
