I always thought that Lorem Ipsum was random text, but accourding to the site http://www.lipsum.com, it is actually from a a book by Cicero called de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum. It’s important to use Lorem Ipsum in development. Just yesterday, I sent a screenshot of a web application to a user in an effort to educate the user about proper usage. I used a test case to fill the screenshot with realistic information, and didn’t notice that another text box in the application contained the words, “Is this going to break too?” Oh well. I pointed out to the user later that the mere existence of the text in the screenshot implies that the answer is “No,” but the damage was done.
So always test with Lorem Ipsum. Just make sure it doesn’t contain the phrase “Mos is quoque effrego?”
