If someone told you to talk continuously for 1 minute without using the letter "a" in any of your words, could you do it?
No repeating...

Very doubtful. Whether I would even attempt it depends upon the prize for success.

Maybe. Not necessarily intelligently, but maybe. Would have to have a written talk prepared, though. Couldn't do it off the cuff.

Of course it could be done, but it depends on what you consider to be a conversation. You could pick a short sentence with all words not using the letter "a", and just keep repeating it. Such as "Of course it could be done."
Seems I remember reading about some novel that was purposely written to not include any word containing the letter "e". That would be tough, as in the English language, the letter "e" is the most common.

If you drink enough Bushmills you have to buy your vowels.
I get it it's, a trick question.
Who would believe simple questions
like it could be puked out simply
for the thought. I would never believe it.
Someone without the mystic powers must.
Myself I don't believe cures should be found.
If there is to be true equity, there must be true trust.
Someone with honest power should show it now!
Know then the true sincere line.
I 've been following it, neverending.
There once occured phenomen unending
I viewed it. My soul seeks recompence.
Gut open, I've shown the World what I do.
Been there, Done it, like the bloodlines.
Good enough?
Fixed it.

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was 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. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.

When I'm really bored, I'll count the "you knows" on interviews with college athletes.
Or the "likes" with Gen X females.

Beat me to it.
NO a's
Can I talk for one minute without using a word with the letter 'a'?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. ...ect.-ect. (Tell me when my minuet is up)
Can I carry on a conversation or write a cohesive thought for one minute without using a word with the letter 'a'? Probably not.
