An interesting, informative site that records people from different parts of the world reading this paragraph in the English language: "Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station."

Searchable by language and region.

Thanks - I had visited this website (or perhaps a predecessor) years ago, but I had forgotten all about it...
