Thank you for the explanation. So an automated audit isn't really an automated audit, it's a manual audit for which the audit report is checked automatically.

- tialaramex 5y agoI think the problem is you've parsed the sentence wrong. The phrase Mozilla uses is "Automated Audit Letter Validation" and you've said to yourself, oh, there's an "Automated Audit" and this is validation of letters connected with that. Nope. There are "Audit Letters" - letters reporting the outcome of each audit - and they need to be Validated, now Mozilla has Automated part of that work. Judging from other reactions I think the vast majority of people parsed this correctly in context, though it's possible I'm wrong. Occasionally poor editing will result in text that most native speakers parse wrongly, these are named "Crash Blossoms" from the naming example headline, "Violinist linked to JAL crash blossoms". A violinist (metaphorically) blossomed, and the headline is explaining which one by telling us it's the one "linked to JAL crash". This bug (statements which have ambiguous parsing) is probably unavoidable in natural languages, although similar bugs in programming languages are arguably a design mistake.
