This sentence is telling everybody write a sentence that refers to itself!

This prophecy will come true.

I am the meaning of this sentence.

This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter.

It feels sooo good when your eyes run over my curves and punctuation marks!

This sentence should be sentenced to death.

Sentience means always having to ask Why?

This sentence has excess baggage, & here it is.

This sentence wanders aimlessly, without having any real purpose,
or anything meaningfull or helpfull to add
and yet is still subtly eloquent,perhaps even poetic
but falls short of poignant.

Subtract all the words from this sentence & this sentence means one word;silence.

These sentences are having problems coping with their own identities.

The start of this sentence reckons that there will be three stops at the end of it. Damn it...

The problem with this sentence is the second word.

This blushing sentence is embarrassed to be read.

This flirtatious sentence thinks you're really sexy & is looking you deeply in the eyes,
doe-eyed & panting softly,trembling,lips parted,waiting for you to lean forward...

thas sintinnce his arocious spling

sentence has forgotten something?

sentence grammatical errors in There this are.

You is both an objective and subject pronoun and can be singular or plural sometimes leading to ambiguity necessitating word order and context interpretation for clarity.

This: is an example, of: "inappropriate," and "incorrect," over-usage of: punctuation--some-thing that isn't a common problem!!; I think???

This sentence is quite long,but the one that got away was
enormous,huge,massive,gigantic,galactic,even,in comparison to this one,the superfluousity of its extrapolations beggars the imagination.

This sentence just wanted somewhere to hang out.

.backwards read be to needs sentence This
