Re: Inaccurate sentences
After completing a jentacular repast of tittynopes, I treated my valetudinarian tendencies to a walk in the park where I experienced rather invigorating quatopygia among young lasses and returned home to edulcorate my soul; but, alas, there was no solution that would accomplish the task; so I returned to nudiustertain activity seeking xertz.

10 out of 10 for the use of several 'exotic' words in one comprehensive sentence
