Frame from Matias Corea’s aforementioned presentation…
Matias pointed out that it’s counterproductive to use Lorem Ipsum as dummy text in layouts because it doesn’t use the letters and combinations that define the English language - such as “Wh, ch, pp, ss, ee, I’m, You’re, She’s, I am so happy, y, j, h, x, k.” To be honest, I didn’t realize how extreme the difference was until he compared the paragraphs (one in English text and one in Lorem Ipsum) side by side… Appareo decet nihil munditia?
