The dummy texts live far behind, behind the word mountains, far from the countries vowels and consonants.
They live isolated in Buchstabhausen on the coast of the Semantik, a large language ocean. A small stream
called Duden flows through their place and supplies them with the necessary rules. It is a paradisiacal country
where fried parts of sentences fly into your mouth. The dummy texts are not even controlled by the almighty punctuation
– an almost unorthographical life. One day,however, a small line of dummy text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to go
out into the wide grammar. The big oxmoxadvised her against it, since it was teeming with evil commas, wild question marks
and sneaky semicolons, but the dummy text was undeterred. It grabbed its seven capital letters, slipped its initial into
its belt and set off. As it climbed the first hills of the Italic Mountains, it took one last look back at the skyline of
its hometown of Buchstabhausen, the headline of Alphabetdorf, and the subline of its own street, Liniengasse. A rhetorical
question ran wistfully down his cheek, then he continued on his way. On the way it hit a copy. The copy warned the dummy
text that it was where it came from
