It has long been known that working with readable, meaningful text is distracting and prevents one from concentrating on the layout itself. The advantage of Lorem Ipsum over a generic text like ‘Text. Text. Text.’ is that it has a more or less normal distribution of letters, and in any case comparable to that of standard French. Many page layout software suites or web editors have adopted Lorem Ipsum as their default dummy text, and a search for ‘Lorem Ipsum’ will take you to many sites that are still in their development phase. Several versions have appeared over time, sometimes by accident, often intentionally (in order to add little winks or even embarrassing sentences).
