How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

It's not a paragraph. You forgot to indent the first sentence. So it's not a paragraph, technically. ('bout five seconds, if i'm right)

There is none of the letter "?"
I already read something like this before so I don't want to give it away.

I am telling you... There is a common letter that isn't in this paragraph.

With that hint, it wasn't difficult at all. I don't know what's cool about it, though.

Hint: This post lacks it too.

I read the OP and was thinking "that's weird. There aren't any [is this supposed to be a secret?]"
Then, after a few seconds, it dawned on me.

Same. Except I've only seen it once before.

So. Should someone say it and give it all away?

It was a relatively cool riddle (I happened to have seen a different paragraph with the same 'lack', so I knew what was up from the half first of the first line), but, in my opinion, way better suited to the "Riddle Time" thread. Why bother starting a thread destined to die out with fewer than 20 posts? I mean, you have posted riddles in the past there, why not put this one there, as well, in the first place?
