Questions
Where does lorem ipsum come from?
It is scrambled Latin from Cicero's 'De finibus bonorum et malorum', written in 45 BC, and has been used as typesetting filler since at least the 1960s.
Why use placeholder text at all?
It shows how a design handles text of a given length without readers being distracted by the meaning. Replace it with real copy as early as you can: real text often breaks layouts that lorem ipsum fits.
Can I get a set number of words?
Yes. Choose Words and the count; the result has exactly that many.
