Question

Why is your page in Latin ??? http://nsdl.org/about/download/templates/UCAR-47_poster_templates_R2.pdf

Answer

Hello, <br /> <br />The page you accessed is a template for a poster that NSDL partners might create about their research when attending professsional conferences or meetings. <br /> <br />A typical practice when designing templates that will ultimately be filled in with real text is to use psuedo-language, similar to what is pictured in this design, to imply that this is not "the real thing." This is often referred to as "Greeked text." <br /> <br />Regards, <br />Carol Minton Morris http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/basic/g/greeking.htm http://vrd.askvrd.org/services/answerschema.xml
