Lorem Ipsum - what does it mean?
Estate Agents have you ever wondered onto a website and found it
full of the Latin text:
'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing
elit...'
Strange isn't it, to broadcast a language that is used very
rarely in the modern world - so why use it?
Lorem Ipsum is not meant to have meaning but it derives from a
Roman philospher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's book on
ethics called 'De Finibus' (The purposes of Good and Evil). The
text used is a variation of the exact version and is believed to be
used since the 1960s.
The purpose of Lorem Ipsum is to place text onto a web page if
there is no text avaible to place onto the web page. Since the
modern version is not a correct version of Latin, it has no exact
meaning but only acting as a holding purpose.
Estate Agents can see a translation of Lorem Ipsum on
wikipedia.
