Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the typesetting and printing industry. Lorem Ipsum has been used as industry standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to create a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why Do We Use It?
It is a known fact that repetitive page content distracts the reader. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it improves readability by providing a more even distribution of letters than simply typing 'text here, text here'. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default dummy text. Additionally, when you search with the keywords 'lorem ipsum' in search engines, many sites that are still in the design phase are listed. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humor, for example).
V When Richard McClintock, a Latin professor from Hampden-Sydney College, Irginia, examined the examples of the word 'consectetur' in classical literature, which is one of the most difficult to understand words from a Lorem Ipsum passage, McClintock has reached a definitive source. Lorm Ipsum, by Cicero, B.C. It comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of the work "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extreme Limits of Good and Evil), written in 45 AD. This book is a treatise on moral theory and was very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of the Lorem Ipsum passage “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
Standard Lorem Ipsum texts used since the 1500s are reproduced for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33, written by Cicero, are also reproduced from their original form, accompanied by English versions taken from the 1914 H. Rackham translation.
Where can I find it?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available. However, most of them have been changed by adding humor or random words. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there aren't any embarrassing words hidden in between text. All Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet iterate through predefined blocks of text. This makes this the only genuine Lorem Ipsum generator on the Internet. This generator uses a dictionary containing more than 200 Latin words and their sentence structures. The generated Lorem Ipsum texts are therefore free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words.
