Does anybody read these?

Since I like to clear things up...

Greeked text refers to nonsensical passages of text which are used to demonstrate typography work. Greeked text is often in a foreign language (such as Greek, hence the name), or made up of nonexistent words, so that the viewer will not be distracted by the textual content but can focus on the fonts and layout.

The classic passages of "greeked text" were actually in Latin, specifically starting with the doggerel Lorem ipsum.
