Are you being ridiculed?

I recently came across a widget for creating filler copy. Its purpose is for designers to have some fake text to use as filler in their designs. (It’s not a designer’s job to write the content, right?)

Here’s what the widget would look like if you installed it on your Mac:

Completely develop principle-centered methodologies with principle-centered catalysts for change.

The joke is that some people really do write this way. Do you? Maybe it’s time to trim out some unnecessary words on your website.

    Yep, lots of websites do carry that. The assumption seems to be that the bigger the words, the more credible the site. Good job of pointing this out.
