What you're saying is that a site's design purpose is to get people to read content; so build the site using unreadable text so that you don't have to be aware of that purpose...I disagree, and made this little site for me and anyone else who wants more than pseudo-Latin nonsense that objectifies content.
To me it just seems that if you're designing a site for predominantly English visitors, you wouldn't use Polish or Spanish or German text in the design. Yet we use gibberish Lorem Ipsum because well, hey, that's what that other designers do. It just seems wonky to me...
On the other hand, I am working with people in the Netherlands right now. For the Dutch version of their site, I used Dutch content.
It just makes more sense to me. Every language has its own quirks and using real content, especially from literature, captures form and matches reality more than a fake language.
I explained why I use Lorem Ipsum, and that clearly was not the reason.
I appreciate the detailed responses, but don't misconstrue my argument.
