What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and 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.
