[Writingworkshop] Lorem ipsum monotonectally evisculate

[Neale Morison]

Our marketing department just sent around a mockup
 of the new web design, and on one page was the following text:

 Interactively communicate prospective convergence through
 resource-leveling process improvements. Interactively grow leveraged
 partnerships before orthogonal vortals. Holistically implement magnetic
 e-commerice vis-a-vis intermandated testing procedures.

 Synergistically restore worldwide services before client-centric
 meta-services. Objectively coordinate clicks-and-mortar platforms and
 holistic functionalities. Quickly optimize stand-alone relationships before
 turnkey infomediaries.

 Quickly mesh quality networks without professional metrics. Distinctively
 evisculate open-source core-competencies and backward-compatible users.

 I was impressed, and I wished I had said that. Then I wondered vaguely if
 evisculate was a real word, and looked it up, and found this:

 So the two thousand year old lorem ipsum text has a serious challenger for
 mindless fill. There are some great words in there: monotonectally,
 disintermediate, vortal. Which is a sort-of-real word. It's a vertical 
industry portal.

 And from the distribution of the words and phrases, I'm fairly certain
 that this material is automatically generated using a vocabulary file and
 syntax templates. I believe this to be the work of a Perl programmer, whose
 effort has been fed into the off-Broadway web design mainstream via a
 series of fortuitous events.
