## Questions

### What is lorem ipsum actually saying?

It is scrambled Latin from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, written in 45 BC, cut up by a printer in the 1500s to make a type specimen. It is deliberately not readable prose, and that is the feature: real copy in a mockup gets read and argued about, and English placeholder text has a habit of shipping to production.

### Can I get an exact number of words?

Yes. Choose words and type the number, and that is exactly what comes out, including when the traditional opening is switched on. Paragraphs and sentences vary on purpose, because text that is always the same length tests nothing about a layout.

### Why change the sentence length?

Because that is what the design is being tested against. A card that looks right with fifteen word sentences can break with five or with thirty, and you find out in production if the placeholder text was always average. Short and Long are here to fail your layout on purpose while it is still cheap.

### Does the HTML option add anything I do not want?

No. Paragraphs come out as p elements and list items as one ul with li inside, with no classes, no wrapper div and no inline styles. It is the markup you would have typed, so it drops into a template without anything to strip out.
