Ok, what the hell is that cryptic text!? Lorem Ipsum, or simply Lipsum is a dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry, used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. It has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.
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 variations on the standard lorem ipsum text exist, some with little resemblance to the original. Other versions have additional letters such as k, w, and z that were uncommon or missing in the Latin, and nonsense words such as zzril, takimata, and gubergren added to the original passage to achieve a distribution of letters that more closely approximates English.

How about alternatives to Lorem Ipsum that are easier on the eye, like English gibberish or even binary (if you are a techie)
