FAQ
Q. What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is derived from a modified Latin text from Cicero's 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (circa 1st century). It has been used as dummy text in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1960s and is now widely used in web design for layout verification.
Q. Why use meaningless text?
Using real content causes reviewers to focus on the content rather than evaluating the layout. Lorem Ipsum, being unreadable, allows focus on design and typography.
Q. Does Lorem Ipsum have any meaning?
The original Latin text has meaning, but modern Lorem Ipsum randomly shuffles and modifies words so it is meaningless. Some words are altered forms that do not exist in Latin dictionaries.
