Fixed the guide for you. For future reference... DONT USE CENTER GODDAMNIT. It's a guide, not a poster for your local grunge-metal-opera-rap band.

Timeer: Helpful, clear, and concise, as all guides should be.

FillerB: That's a matter of opinion, isn't it? He can format it center if he likes.

a guide is meant to be helpful (and this is certainly that), not unreadable.

Imagine if the following was a guide.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Vestibulum mattis metus ultrices arcu tempor eu pulvinar elit tempor. Vestibulum tincidunt venenatis ipsum at gravida.
Ut mattis viverra augue, a dignissim metus iaculis vel. Etiam ultricies, elit ut adipiscing cursus,
enim nisl sollicitudin lectus, et adipiscing nunc risus eu massa. Praesent hendrerit leo sit amet orci pharetra congue. Duis semper ullamcorper sollicitudin. Ut mollis tortor velit. Pellentesque sit amet lectus enim, eu vehicula est.
Praesent erat est, varius id eleifend nec, sodales in ipsum. Nulla ornare elementum enim, hendrerit faucibus urna elementum eu. Curabitur erat dui, tristique eu euismod at, tincidunt quis nibh. Phasellus sodales orci ut diam placerat tincidunt.
Proin sodales tellus a lorem rhoncus ut feugiat dui sodales. Aliquam eget turpis in erat rutrum suscipit non nec est. In sit amet dolor est, nec blandit erat.

Do you get my point now?

For one, irrelevant as it's not in English.

Honestly, I don't personally have a problem with it, BUT I can understand how others might find it difficult to follow.

EXACTLY, it is a guide and as such it should be as easily readable as possible. Now I'm not for a global ban of center (it has it uses in section headers) but there's a reason almost all documents are left-aligned.

*facepalm*

Wikipedia wrote:In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum[p][1][2] is placeholder text (filler text) commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. The lorem ipsum text is typically a section of a Latin text by Cicero with words altered, added and removed that make it nonsensical in meaning and not proper Latin.[1][2] A close English translation of the words lorem ipsum might be "pain itself" (dolorem = pain, grief, misery, suffering; ipsum = itself).

dude, lorem ipsum is just a placeholder text, it means nothing

edit: filler with his cat-like reflexes was faster

Yes, google translator is nowhere near intelligent enough for the modern spoken word, much less one as complicated as Latin. A three word sentence can be written nine different ways and still mean the same thing. The meaning of a word does not rely on it's position in the sentence like most languages today. Rather it's determined by the word's suffix and those of the words within the same sentence. Making it even more complicated, true Latin had no punctuation; no commas, periods, exclamation points, or question marks. Sentences had to be isolated from the rest of the written body through familiarity with the language and the ability to discern which words went together. Seems ridiculously complicated to us but if you were raised speaking it such skills become as second nature as typing on a keyboard or walking.
