Lorem Ipsum

Imagine school kids taking some famous song or well-known speech and corrupting the words for humor.

Imagine the works of Ancient Grecian scholar, Cicero, and producing it in Latin (common tongue, vulgate)

Imagine print paper press technology taking "unknown text" and making nonsense with text alignment and missing punctuation.

Imagine digital publishing software taking corrupted paragraphs to show how professional a document you might create.

Paragraph alignment, word spacing, text alignment.

And there is 'Lorem Ipsum'; a paragraph out of context, for the wrong readership, corrupted of all meaning.

Have we really given it any thought?

Did language scholars sit down and discuss it in social circles.

Could the missing words be a secret code, and a way of passing messages amongst secret societies with secret handshakes.

Will code breakers discover hidden messages in breaking down the original Cicero text and Latin version? Will the answer change if you consider the alignment and direct of words written in ancient Greek (a language that might transcribe leftward or rightward or a combination; depending on the age they wrote it).

I doubt it. It doubt anything meaningful would be discovered; because the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

Lorem Ipsum exists because of corruption, reproduction, retelling, reprinting, misspelling, cut and pasting, and editing.

It is something to consider as I write today. Will my word survive, and if they do survive; would I recognize them?
