What is Lorem Ipsum?-

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.- Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.- It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.- It was popularised 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 long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.- The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‚Content here, content here‘, making it look like readable English.- Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‚lorem ipsum‘ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.- Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).-

Where does it come from?-

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.- This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.- The first line of Lorem Ipsum, „Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..“, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.-
