Lorem Ipsum is a dummy text that has been used in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. It originated from a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC.
It has been used extensively in the world of design and technology as a filler text in graphic design and digital publishing. The use of Lorem Ipsum has been popularized with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages and with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.
