Longest sentence


This puzzle came to my mind, but I do not have an answer in place.

What's the longest meaningful English sentence with no repeating letters? (means, the longest sentence can have a maximum 26 letters; of course, proper nouns excluded)

I don't know about the longest one but here's the shortest one (or at least that's what the typewriter manufacturers used to say):

No, a pangram uses all the letters but allows repetitions. The OP is asking for the longest sentence that has no repetitions, even if it doesn't use all the letters.

not in english that i know of
I believe this is because common words in every day english became common because of their simmiliar sounds
Since these sounds are created by letters (untechnically) this means they are created by common, A.K.A. Repeating, letters
