    Top website mistake?

    Was going to order a 2nd hand mountain bike but decided not to after clicking on terms and conditions and finding irrelevant text in Latin. Hmmm. Bit of a testing oversight there.

    So a small business that isn't IT related has used a template and not finished it off properly. That is just stand blurb that many templates use to put some text in.

    Even Wikipedia do the same on their templates..

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Lorem_ipsum

    I hardly think this is the sole reason you shouldn't do business with them.

      Hmmmm, at least the Latin is (most probably) spelt correctly, unlike "Breaks and Parts" (well, it would, wouldn't it?) and "single speed bik".
      The vegetarian option.

            How quaint. Everyone who's anyone is using bacon lipsum these days

            I've translated the paragraph and it makes much meatier reading as

            Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet sausage chuck culpa, salami rump hamburger laboris labore consequat chicken ut nisi meatball tail. Ham hock culpa filet mignon, pariatur ground round biltong brisket sunt hamburger kielbasa dolor. Pork belly pork chop pig strip steak. Pancetta pig nulla flank turkey esse. Pariatur pork officia qui sed veniam, spare ribs sirloin ham hock shank hamburger frankfurter biltong shoulder. Velit fugiat ut, incididunt non in biltong cow et filet mignon consectetur exercitation sint. Shoulder veniam cupidatat jerky.

              I just tried putting it into Google translate and found something similar.

              What scares me is that "nascetur ridiculus mus." translates to "PHP and Perl".

              Those Romans were such a clever bunch, and so ahead of their time....
