## Lorem ipsum generator FAQ

**What does lorem ipsum mean?**
Nothing, on purpose. It is a scrambled passage from a book Cicero wrote in 45 BC, and printers and designers have used it as filler for decades. Because it looks like text but says nothing, people judge the layout instead of the words.

**Should I show lorem ipsum to a client?**
For an early layout, yes, with a note that it is placeholder. For anything they sign off, use real or near-real copy: Latin hides problems like a headline too long for its box or a button label that wraps.

**How much placeholder text do I need?**
As much as the real copy will be. Ask for the expected length, then match it: a 50-word bio, a 300-word article intro. The [word counter](https://www.meadowdesk.com/tools/word-counter) counts what you generate so you can get close.

**Can I use it in test data?**
Yes. Put sentences in the text fields of each test record and the right kind of value everywhere else: a [Unix timestamp](https://www.meadowdesk.com/tools/unix-timestamp-converter) for dates, for example. Check the finished records parse with the [JSON formatter](https://www.meadowdesk.com/tools/json-formatter), and shuffle between records so they are not all the same.

**Why do some words repeat?**
With 63 words to draw from, repeats are normal, sometimes even side by side. Real copy repeats words too, so it does not get in the way of judging a layout. Press Shuffle if a draw looks odd.
