English Grammar Checker
Being tired of checking English grammar, I decided to write an English grammar regular expression.
Notations
All capital letters denote an expression.
Quoted strings (like "a") and lower-case letters denotes literals.
AB means concatenating expressions / literals A and B ...
The challenge is as simple as it suggests, you have to print a string without using single/double quotes in source code.
The string is:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Standard loopholes apply
code-golf, shortest code wins
It's just another do X without Y. I think those types of challenges can be interesting, but this one most certainly is not. Either your language allows printing strings without ", or it doesn't, and it's boring or impossible either way.
@Bubbler why isn't it? (I haven't voted on any answers to that question though)
(I guess the biggest problem is that every downvote creates several upvotes because someone thinks the answer is not bad enough and then they gain reputation every time I downvote)
Specifying that it's allowed on every challenge seems unnecessary given that it is on pretty much every (good) challenge, but if you don't there's always comments asking for clarification on it
Where the question does not explicitly state either way, should an answer that gives surplus output count as valid? Should this rule be different for visible characters and whitespace?
Some specific cases that sometimes come up:
A single trailing newline
Output enclosed in parentheses or quote...
@user My current plan is to get it to scan for week-old posts each day at midnight, then post a message saying: "Week old posts: [link]. [link]. [link]. etc"
But I'll leave that for a few days running in a different room to get an idea of how intrusive that could be
There is this answer on meta however, so I'm gonna discuss with the mods before doing anything in this room
@RedwolfPrograms There are a couple of issues with that. The biggest three I can think of are: 1) it assumes all posts have their title as # <title>, which isn't always the case. 2/3) The links become longer, which could approach the maximum message length and could make the messages potentially more intrusive

I think this might be fun. Or, it might be torture, idk. 😛 If this is popular, I might add a sequel for the significantly more complex 32-bit encoding 😏
Time for a mini objdump.
