You might be right about the second line ending at the word DOG.
I haven't type those lines in a long time.

I remember "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of
their country", and "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dog"...the latter, because it has every letter in the alphabet at least once.

Except that there is no "S" in the sentence as you remember it... Ed's
way with "dogs back" added the S to the sentence.... Perhaps the
original was simply "over the lazy dogs"... ;)

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is the current proper phrase... it used to start with "A" instead of "The" but there was only three years between the two forms...

RIGHT!! Now I remember... And yes, I originally learned it starting
with "A" instead of "The".... :)

It was in January 1960 when the Navy Radiomans Class started teaching Me
how to Type while Listening to Morse Code over a Pair of Headphones.

So I probably learned about typing the "NOW IS..." and "THE QUICK..."
Sentences during that period.

"THE QUICK..." is the way I recall doing it.

I Didn't know about the "A QUICK..." version until reading about it today.

In Navy Radiomans School the Typewriters printed Capital Letters whichever
way the Shift Key was ... Up or Down ALL CAPITALS, No lower case.

That's why I typed (between the Quote Marks) in Upper Case above.

Sounds reasonable... :)

Not sure who I learned it from... maybe my Daddy... and I don't remember
how long ago, either...

I seem to remember that the teletype machine in our college radio
station printed only in CAPITAL letters also... Possibly related to your Radiomans School's Typewriters....
