t published explanation of the text's origin is attributed to Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar at Hampden–Sydney College. McClintock connected Lorem ipsum to Cicero's writing sometime before 1982[further explanation needed] by searching for recorded uses of the Latin word consectetur, which was rarely used in classical literature.[3] McClintock first published his discovery in a 1994 letter to John McWade, the editor of the Before & After magazine,[10] contesting McWade's earlier claim that Lorem ipsum had no meaning.[3] That letter claimed that the placeholder text had been used since the 1500s, but McClintock admitted in a 2026 interview that that date had been a guess with no evidence to back it up.[9]
