What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
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 point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, making it look like readable English, rather than using 'Content here, content here'.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, ensuring designers can focus purely on the visual architecture of the project before the actual copy is written.
