  1. There is an idiom in English, Greek to me, <\/i>that is used to express that something is difficult to understand.<\/li>\n
  2. From this idiom comes a practice called Greeking<\/i>, which means <\/i>changing texts or symbols into something that can\u2019t be understood.<\/li>\n
  3. Now, any content publishing has two primary components: design and text.<\/li>\n
  4. Greeking in content publishing is used to create dummy text because it prevents designers from getting distracted.<\/li>\n
  5. It also helps copywriters (people who work on the text) avoid mistaking the dummy text as final text.<\/li>\n
  6. Lorem Ipsum<\/em> is dummy text and it is nonsensical i.e. it doesn\u2019t mean anything and is a typical example of Greeking<\/i>.<\/li>\n
  7. Dummy text has been in use since the invention of printing press in the 1440s and Lorem Ipsum<\/em> is a version of the text that was used in 1500s (though it became popular in 1980s when computer publishing came in).<\/li>\n
  8. Researchers found Lorem Ipusm<\/em> to be jumbled text from the first book of the Latin book-series De Fibinus Bonorum et Malorum<\/i> (translates to ‘The Ends of Good & Evil’).<\/li>\n
  9. This book-series was written in 45 BC by Roman philosopher Marcus Tulles Cicero and became very popular in the period 1300-1600, when Europe was making a transition to modernity and witnessing extraordinary work in the field of culture, philosophy, politics, economics and art.<\/li>\n
  10. The selection of this text over any other text is believed to have happened by coincidence.<\/li>\n
  11. Research found that a typesetter who was required to make a book specimen would have coincidentally used Cicero\u2019s work (the probability of this was anyway quite high because it was the most published work at the time).<\/li>\n
  12. And it is also believed that the typesetter only would have jumbled the text so as not to distract himself.<\/li>\n
  13. The particular phrase that Lorem Ipsum<\/em> comes from was Dolorem Ipsum<\/em>, which means \u201cpain itself\u201d; the complete sentence was as given below:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ‘Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit…’ [There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
