Syd, well - *deep breath* - its called 'Greeking' and is infact nonsense, yes it is close to Latin, and if you read it as such it doesnt make a whole bunch of sense. The purpose is simple - it has the proven word structure to the human eye as English - spaces groupings of letters, stuff like that. The outcome, you can pad bodies of text out with stuff appart from blah blah blah blah blah blah waffle waffle waffle blah which doesnt look at all right.

*if you stick it into google you get a bunch of it.

Ideally you dont do it on live websites, but I was bored, and at the time had time on my hands, I will go back and complete it when I get the opportunity - which reminds me I need to talk paypal with Dan the treasurer.

I will change it to English when I have less things on my "really fix it now" list - which is at the moment longer than a long thing.
