Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.
