~Here's~ This is a crossover NaNoG'nMo / NaNoLiPo ~entry~ admission!

50,000 Woofs

Nov. 1: #avoidlipo -- ~Your text may not contain any "e"s~ Start off with a fairly comfy constraint. It's a day for imitating our old Oulipo pal, Anton Vowl. That most common symbol, our fifth if going from A to Z: don't put it in your writing. Not today, for NaNoLiPo; not any day, for oulipo.social. via

~We~ You and I all know a word containing a fifth symbol.

And ~we~ you and I all know a word not containing a fifth symbol.
