Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is a sample text or dummy in the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the standard dummy text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a collection of texts and scrambled them to make a typed sample book. It has not only survived 5 centuries, but has also switched to electronic typesetting, without any changes. It was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets which used lines from Lorem Ipsum, and with the advent of Desktop Publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker also had versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a known fact that a reader will be swayed by the written content of a page when he sees the layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more or less normal distribution of letters, rather than using sentences like "Content here, content here", so that it appears to be readable English. Many Desktop Publishing packages and website editors now use Lorem Ipsum as sample text. Hence a search for the phrase "Lorem Ipsum" will lead to many websites that are still under development. Various versions have also changed from year to year, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes on purpose (for example, because it includes elements of humor or something like that).

Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not just random texts. It is rooted in a classic Latin literary text from the era of 45 BC, so that it can be ascertained that it has reached more than 2000 years of age. Richard McClintock, a professor of Latin at Hampden-Sidney College in Virginia, is trying to figure out the meaning of one of the most obscure Latin words, namely consectetur, which is taken from a passage in Lorem Ipsum. After he searched for its meaning in classical literature, he found a source that could not be doubted. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's manuscript "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the ethical theory that was very famous during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard portion of the Lorem Ipsum text used since the 1500s is now reproduced below for those who are interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" are also reproduced in exact form, followed by an English version derived from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Where can I get it from?
There are many variations of Lorem Ipsum available, but most of them have undergone some form of alteration, whether due to elements of humor or sentences jumbled up to the point of utter nonsense. If you want to use Lorem Ipsum, you have to make sure there are no embarrassing passages hidden in the middle of the text. All Lorem Ipsum generators on the internet tend to repeat certain parts. Therefore this is the first real generator on the internet. He uses a vocabulary dictionary of 200 Latin words, which he combines with many examples of sentence structure to produce Lorem Ipsun that seems to make sense. Because of that the resulting Lorem Ipsun will always be free from repetition, elements of humor that are intentionally inserted, words that do not match its characteristics and so on.
