What is Lorem 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).

Where does it come from?

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.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

“Justin goes the extra mile, for example taking personal delivery of keys for me when I couldn’t be there, sorting out small problems before they become big problems, keeping us all informed of progress with issues and solving difficulties seven days a week. He has a rare combination of tact, patience and persistence – very valuable qualities in a building manager.”

“Justin is helping us to have outstanding defects identified and addressed by the developer and its building contractor. He has also established facilities management protocols to aid the smooth operation of the building. Many of these issues were sorely neglected prior to Justin’s commencement on the building. Justin is professional, proactive, attentive and readily available to the EC and Owners, and attends to our various requirements quickly and efficiently, including after-hours.”

“The quality of communication and coordination of the defect process was very good. It allowed us, as the builder, to resolve any deficiencies quickly and to the satisfaction of the owners. I was impressed with the effort and abilities of Lateral Building Management, who were able to differentiate the difference between any non-defect related issues and take ownership of them. Justin was always available and provided timely responses.”
