156: Lorem Ipsum May 13, 2015

Any of you who do publishing or graphic design, or even made a powerpoint have seen, 'lorem ipsum'. Interestingly, there is no Latin word 'lorem', but neither was Cicero just making up words. This is originally from a passage which seeming to start with, "lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", but there was a piece missing of this fragment: it starts with "neque porro quisquam est qui do-". 'Lorem ipsum' requires 'do-' (i.e.’ dolorum’) and because it requires text, it now is used to show that (or where) the input of text is necessary.
