That Lorem Ipsum thing
Yeah a little curious about that one? It’s basically an old Latin text whose origin can be traced as far back as 45 BC. The exact text is from Cicero‘s “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil). It has been used since the 1500′s as dummy text so as not to distract people from the lay-out, which is the primary concern for printing. Besides, this specific text has quite a normal distribution of letters so it makes it universal.
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”
See, it�s not just a random text anymore.
