Lorem Ipsum is unadulterated drivel.
It means nothing whatsoever, but it's
surprisingly useful. The main idea behind
lorem ipsum is to have 'convincing' text,
separated into words, paragraphs and with
punctuation etc. This 'text' is then used
by DTP bureaux and web designers for roughing
out document designs, illustrating text flow
and run arounds before the final text arrives.
It allows designers to show their proposals
without having clients distracted by meaningful
text. It also avoids fine publications like N.T.K.
detecting irony which may become apparent in
old web page drafts loitering around dusty servers
which had English-language garbage text used as
filler. A FOLDOC definition of lorem ipsum is here.
