It is confusing when the referent is ambiguous. In the original title, email could mean either of two things, and there is no way to tell which it is.
As an irrelevant aside, if you insist on justifying web content, “hyphens: auto” is your friend.
- strogonoff 6y agoAmbiguity is ever-present in human language, I’d say I rarely know precisely what I will read about when clicking a link here. Confusion between “email address” and “email message” is relatively mild, in fact (post about Kafka from not long ago comes to mind). I am not the OP, and frankly I don’t believe full justification has a place on the web just yet. Hyphenation alone is rarely enough to make it bearable, and I think browsers’ rendering engines don’t do more than that.
