What language is that and why did you put it on my website? is the question I frequently get asked during the early stages of the website design process. The answer is easy – Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used as a placeholder before the final text is submitted. And for all you fellow nerdy people who want a little more history, Wikipedia describes it as
a mangled section of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed that make it nonsensical and not proper Latin.
