%N Aronson's mod 14 sequence: "T is the first, fourth, eleventh, third,... letter in this sentence, not counting spaces and commas and all mod 14".

%C Infinite? Periodic? It seems the answers are "Yes and No" because many numbers (such as "tenth") have multiple T's and moreover, in many of these, the T's are spread such that at least one of them will be != 2 mod 14 (2 is important because "second" is the only T-less word)
