Lorem ipsum is a pseudo-Latin text used in web
design, typography, layout, and printing in place of English to
emphasise design elements over content. It's also called placeholder (or
filler) text. It's a convenient tool for mock-ups. It helps to outline
the visual elements of a document or presentation, eg typography, font,
or layout. Lorem ipsum is mostly a part of a Latin text by the classical
author and philosopher Cicero. Its words and letters have been changed
by addition or removal, so to deliberately render its content
nonsensical; it's not genuine, correct, or comprehensible Latin anymore.
While
lorem ipsum's still resembles classical Latin,
it actually has no meaning whatsoever. As Cicero's text doesn't contain
the letters K, W, or Z, alien to latin, these, and others are often
inserted randomly to mimic the typographic appearence of European
languages, as are digraphs not to be found in the original.
In a
professional context it often happens that private or corporate clients
corder a publication to be made and presented with the actual content
still not being ready. Think of a news blog that's filled with content
hourly on the day of going live. However, reviewers tend to be
distracted by comprehensible content, say, a random text copied from a
newspaper or the internet. The are likely to focus on the text,
disregarding the layout and its elements. Besides, random text risks to
be unintendedly humorous or offensive, an unacceptable risk in corporate
environments.
Lorem ipsum and its many variants have been employed since the early 1960ies, and quite likely since the sixteenth century.
