Why Placeholder Text Matters in UI/UX Design Testing
Lorem Ipsum has been the design industry's standard dummy text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. Derived from Cicero's classical Latin treatise De finibus bonorum et malorum, it provides a natural distribution of letter frequencies without distracting readers from layout evaluation.
