Actual client quote from 3 weeks ago:

"A few things jumped out at me when I took a look at the site, first,
why did you write our content in latin?...."

To some people NOTHING is obvious. And yes, we had used the common Lorem
ipsum text. Of course an AOL user who was trying to transfer her
business domain through register.com was confused by the directions in
the confirmation email. Our project manager had to walk her through the
process over the phone. Her first question: "What's a browser" Second
question: "How do I cut and paste?".
