Lorem Ipsum
Cicero would be happy to know that his "Extremes of Good and Evil" is probably read more in the 21st century than in the -1st, when it was written.
"Wha???", you ask?
Here's a bit of it:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Proin arcu felis, tristique sit amet, porttitor a, varius vel, lectus. Integer enim nisl, vestibulum at, egestas in, facilisis condimentum, nibh. Morbi nisi. Sed eget velit eget eros posuere tempor. Phasellus id est vitae nulla sodales pharetra. Vestibulum sapien nulla, gravida vel, vehicula sed, laoreet at, lorem. Aliquam metus tellus, dictum et, aliquam sed, imperdiet et, urna. Morbi sagittis fringilla urna. Nam nunc nisi, sollicitudin quis, auctor sed, aliquet et, odio. Nam ultricies, justo id egestas accumsan, velit quam hendrerit ipsum, pretium accumsan purus lacus et velit.
The "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" bit is used by designers worldwide who, lacking meaningful content from their clients during the design concept phase of their projects, use this as text filler. This text reads as "real", without having any actual meaning (well, unless you usually read in Latin, in which case, we apologize for confusing you). The reason for using this bit of text, rather than actual text provided by a client, is so the client focuses on the design, and not the words used within it. Take my word for it: clients will often take issue with the content of the text, and comment on it, rather than the design, if we use their words, and not a lorem ipsum passage.
Rest easy, though. Your text will appear on the final version!
If you want to create your own lorem ipsum text (say, as filler for a report to the boss), just go to this wonderful Lorem Ipsum Generator.
