Help & FAQ
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book, Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text. It has survived not only five centuries but also the transition to electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It became popular in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker, which included versions of Lorem Ipsum.
What does LOREM mean
‘Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici eli (complete text) is dummy text meant to have no actual meaning. It is used as a placeholder in magazine layouts, for example, to give an impression of the finished document. The text is intentionally unintelligible so that the viewer is not distracted by the content. The language is not real Latin, and the first word ‘Lorem’ does not exist. It is said that Lorem Ipsum text has been common among typesetters since the 16th century.
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 purpose 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 websites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes intentionally (with injected humor or similar changes).
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 by reviewing its usage in classical literature, discovered the undoubted source.
Where can I get some?
There are many variations of Lorem Ipsum passages available, but the majority have been altered in some way, often with injected humor or randomized words that do not look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to ensure there is nothing embarrassing hidden in the middle of the text. All Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator online. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words combined with a handful of model sentence structures to generate Lorem Ipsum that looks reasonable and is free from repetition, injected humor, or non-characteristic words.
Why do we use Lorem Ipsum?
Many times, readers will get distracted by readable text when looking at a page’s layout. Instead of using filler text that says “Insert content here,” Lorem Ipsum uses a normal distribution of letters, making it resemble standard English. This makes it easier for designers to focus on visual elements rather than the text itself. Lorem Ipsum is also essential in many design cases, such as web design projects, landing pages, and website redesigns, which only look as intended when fully populated with content.
