"""
This is pengram2nato.py of Pengram holoalphabetic sentence that
contains every letter of the 26 letters of the English alphabet at least once.

git commit -m "v007 Add similar url :pengram2nato.py"

Pengrams are used to display typefaces and test typing equipment.
https://github.com/wilsonmar/python-samples/blob/main/pengram2nato.py

Created by perpexity.ai based on this prompt:
For the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",
write a python program to substitute each letter of the sentence with
a NATO pengram alphabet word.

Similar to https://github.com/t2kio/myutils/blob/master/check_pangram.py
which identifies whether a sentence is a pangram or not.
