What I find remarkable is that this text has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since some printed in the 1500s took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book; it has survived not only four centuries of letter-by-letter resetting but even the leap into electronic typesetting, essentially unchanged except for an occasional 'ing' or 'y' thrown in. It's ironic that when the then-understood Latin was scrambled, it became as incomprehensible as Greek; the phrase 'it's Greek to me' and 'greeking' have common semantic roots!

Is quibbling about the origins of FPO copy in and of itself an FPO discussion, and therefore moot and non-existent?
Discuss.Is that discussion and extension of an FPO exchange and even more so pointless and for philisophical placement only?
Discuss further.
