ok.. what the fuck is this? I have never asked before now. What does it mean?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In elit turpis, molestie vel, lobortis vitae, mollis at, massa. Proin malesuada varius diam. Curabitur porta porttitor quam. Nullam felis. Nunc auctor. Donec hendrerit turpis a sem. In sit amet diam quis nibh posuere commodo. Ut molestie, metus sit amet volutpat lobortis, tellus dolor pretium ligula, euismod malesuada massa sem accumsan nisl. Nunc molestie ligula eget augue. Nullam dui neque, pharetra sed, imperdiet ac, faucibus nec, quam.


Every time I hire a designer, I get this instead of text where the descriptions go. Is it like a standard thing among designers? What the fuck is it? What does it mean? Is it so hard to just copy and paste "text goes here" a thousand times?

Is it an actual language?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is standard placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. Lorem ipsum also serves as placeholder text in mock-ups of visual design projects before the actual words are inserted into the finished product. When used in this manner, it is often called greeking.

Even though using "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. "Lorem ipsum" also approximates a typical distribution of letters in English, which helps to shift the focus to presentation.

http://www.lipsum.com - has a generator so you too can make believe you are a real professional graphic designer.

WHAT IS LOREN IPSUM?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

WHY DO WE USE IT?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

It's actually easier to ask on GFY than to do the actual research myself. I've read on here where people have burned themselves with bacon grease and ask on here if they should go to the emergency.
