General Practice

There are many varia­tions of pas­sa­ges of Lorem Ipsum ava­ila­ble, but the majo­ri­ty have suf­fe­red alte­ra­tion in some form, by injec­ted humo­ur, or ran­do­mi­sed words which don’t look even sli­gh­tly belie­va­ble. If you are going to use a pas­sa­ge of lorem ipsum you need to be sure the­re isn’t any­thing embar­ras­sing hid­den in the mid­dle of text.

Contrary to popu­lar belief, Lorem Ipsum is not sim­ply ran­dom text. It has roots in a pie­ce of clas­si­cal Latin lite­ra­tu­re from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin pro­fes­sor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscu­re Latin words, con­sec­te­tur, from a Lorem Ipsum pas­sa­ge, and going thro­ugh the cites of the word in clas­si­cal lite­ra­tu­re, disco­ve­red the undo­ub­ta­ble source.

Lorem Ipsum comes from sec­tions 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, writ­ten in 45 BC. This book is a tre­ati­se on the the­ory of ethics, very popu­lar during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in sec­tion 1.10.32.
