"justified" is sufficient and is, actually, the correct term. There are
four types of alignment in typesetting. Even though this medium isn't
exactly condusive to typesetting, per se, the terms should be used properly.
The four types are these:
"ragged right" (aka "flush left")
"ragged left" (aka "flush right")
"justified"
"centered"
Here are some examples*:
Ragged Right/Flush Left
=======================
Paragraphs are easiest to read when they are set to flush left alignment.
The reason for this is that the space between words (aka wordspacing) and
the space between letters (aka kerning) is left in a "natural" state.
Additionally, western readers are taught to read left to right, so having
text line up on the left gives a firmly-anchored starting point for the
eye at the next line.
Ragged Left/Flush Right
=======================
For the more artistically-inclined typesetter (or perhaps someone who is
just bored) there's the flush right alignment. This provides a more
striking look to a paragraph. As with ragged right, kerning and
wordspacing is preserved, however, readability is sacrificed to some
extent by lining text up on the right-hand side. Each new line starts at
a different point, which is akin to visual speedbumps for the eye. It's a
nice change for a little while, but, like headline fonts, should be used
sparingly, in order for it to be effective.
J u s t i f i e d
==========================================================================
Justified text can be difficult to read when using a non-monospace font...
the reason for this is simple: when using a mono-space font (say, Courier)
each letter occupies the same physical width on the page. An "i" will take
just as much space as a "W" or a "@", etc. In a monospace font, the word-
spacing and kerning do not vary when justifying a paragraph, however with
a non-monospace font, both kerning and wordspacing get altered. From line
to line, wordspacing will vary, thus making a justified paragraph written
or displayed in a non-monospace font difficult to read. The eye must con-
stantly adjust to the changing visual makeup of a justified paragraph.
Justified paragraphs are ones with a fixed width (often referred to with a
redundant term like "right/left justified" or "fully justified"). So, if a
monospace font is used in typesetting (or in viewing, such as with a shell
account newsreader--as opposed to a newsreader client) then all the setter
needs to do is count the letters per line, and adjust his/her sentences to
fit in the previously determined paragraph width (which is generally 80 or
so characters).
What poses a challenge in writing justified paragraphs ("justified" in the
typesetting sense of the word, not in reference to content of the post) is
when non-monospaced fonts are used. For example: these three paragraphs so
far are all justified for anyone using a newsreader which uses a monospace
font for display purposes. However, someone using Netscape to read his/her
news may find that these three paragraphs do NOT appear to be justified...
in fact, they look the same as ragged left. This is because something like
Times (a non-monospaced or non-fixed-width font) is used in display. So, I
urge everyone here to try it out on both a "shell" newsreader and a client
newsreader to see the difference. Enough about justified paragraphs. Next:
Centered
========
Centered text has a more formal air to it.
Invitations, poems, announcements and the like
(aka: sentence structure and completeness
isn't a priority for what is being written)
lend themselves well to centered alignment.
As with the artistic ragged left, the
centered text should be used sparingly...
It is best used as "hood ornament" rather than
as the standard form for a lengthy post.
Kerning and wordspacing are preserved,
but readability drops due to not having a
good visual cue for either the beginning or end of
a line of text.
...
OK just my $.02 on that matter. Gee who would have thought something I
learned in college could be useful :) I hope I made it clear about why
it's incorrect to use the term "fully justified" (incorrect, and
redundant)... at least according to what is taught in college-level
graphics design classes (which I accept as credible sources).
Cheers,
Holly
<asterisk>
* whitepace has been added to the right-hand margin of this post, in case
it gets quoted... this way the visual examples won't word-wrap too much..
the only example which will be affected by quoting is the centered one, but
you can use your brain to figure out that it was centered in this original
post. :) I wrote and posted this with Pnews, and viewed it on an
80-character-width window using a fixed-width display font.

Um, actually I thought it was a pun on the meaning of justification in
terms of religion. Someone is "justified" in terms of being fully assured
of their salvation, of feeling in the right vis-a-vis the Deity. Which
would certainly fit "jesse's" profile.

You only say that because you don't remember that computers built by
IBM, back when most people knew that it stood for International
Business Machines, were once commonly called "IBM machines" (I don't
remember that either, but I read it in an old Archie comic book.
Jughead said to Archie: "What do you think I am? An IBM machine?")
Since the first ATMs were built by American Transdata Manufacturing,
referring to them as "ATM machines" is correct, even though "ATM" has
become more or less a generic term for similar machines built by any
manufacturer.
Hope this helps!

But if those of us who are not very, very poor have to share with the
poor slobs, then they probably won't have to wear rags, will they? Or
will they not be able to buy decent clothes? Personally, I think that
everyone in the Lovolution should fall into the Gap. The Gap provides
the perfect clothing for mass individualism.

Comfort and style, yes. Tonight's tuxedo shirt, black blazer, and platform

Spike heels don't exactly fall into my definition of comfort....but, hey,

Uhm Libby? Let's, just for the sake of argument, say that I agreed with
you. Given the homeless problem here (I have no idea if there's one in
the UK), why on earth would you burn down buildings that could be used to
give people shelter? Not to mention the amount of pollution said razings
would create.

Actually, if you look closely, they're both unquotes. I should have
said `Jesse Garon`.

Man, you're going a long way just to get a rhyme. I thought I'd get a
round of "bibidys" for inventing the word 'prosely' off the top of my
head just so I could do a poem, but instead, I have been attacked for
my poetry itself. Well, just remember who won 1995's online slam! Me!

I have some older models where the bills needed to be printed inside a few

There are also some models which ``work around'' this problem by actually
printing the next transaction's bills while a transaction is taking place.
This fools ATM users into thinking that the current transaction's bills are
being printed.

Honey, it would probably be more prudent to start with the CIA campus in

there has been something of a shakeup there, what with all that has
been in the newspapers. Or perhaps the Hoover FBI building over on 12th

Wait a minute, you want to turn the White House into the Gaia Intelligence
Agency and THEN burn it down (with joy). Although there may be many
people who would support you on that (the burning of the GIA I mean) it
seems to be an illogical thing to do and an appalling waste of effort.

Why wear anything if everyone is just going to take if off later?
That's just pure inefficency if you ask me. I'm going to the
Lovolution totally booty-ass naked.
On the other hand, if everyone goes naked then everyone will spend
the whole party saying, "No, I don't have a lighter either," because
no one will have any pockets.
In fact, clothing is nothing but inefficency. I'm just going to
wear pajamas all the time and wonder why no one will date me.

Great. Libby, you ever hear the song "16 Tons?" "Some folks say a man's
made out of mud, but a poor man's made out of muscle and blood: muscle and
blood, skin and bone, a mind that's weak, and a back that's strong."
The point of the lyric is that (sometimes) metaphor is a luxury. This is
one of those times, I think. When asked "why don't you use this large
building to house people who need shelter?" you reply "'cause it's a
symbol of Evil." Do you really think that that three year old girl on the
corner and her 14 month old brother would rather stay on the streets in
the blizzard than inhabit a nice, warm, solid Evil Symbol?

I do not understand
this fascination
with "full justification".
Why indeed is such a
restricted format
considered desirable?
Free verse
is much more
liberating.

I was just thinking that not many people really explore the
possibilities that nudism offers. People spend so much time,
energy, and money on clothing.
BE NUDE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.
On the other hand, some people should wear even more clothing
than they do already.
I guess there's no good solution.

Now hold on a minute. I have seen A BETTER TOMORROW, and also I saw A
BETTER TOMORROW 2, and I do not remember any part of either film that
required nudity. Even the hookers in that one scene in the first film
where Chow Yun Fat walks down the hall planting pistols in the potted
plants have their clothes on. So I do not see why one has to be nude,
for A BETTER TOMORROW. If we were talking about NAKED KILLER, that is
a different story. Any film about lesbian hit squads requires lots of
naked bodies -- although it makes hiding the guns harder.

Well, *you* may play the guitar on the MTV. Me, I'm playin' my guitar

It's acoustic, of course, seeing as how my electric guitar was run over by
a car on the highway.

I think it should be a crime against the state to touch an electric
guitar until one has actually learned how to play an acoustic one.
Ineptitute should not be amplified.
But then, I don't own any stock in MTV.

That's what sucks about being a poet: everybody and his illegitimate
stepson want to tell you you're doing it wrong. First Doctorb
Science, who can't seem to fathom the idea that there can be more than
one kind of justification, and that my justification for my
justification is not mandatory. Then Hong, who's incapable of
distinguishing "liberation" from "couch-potato laziness" I could
put my words
on different
lines
and claim they were
free verse
and that this is
a liberating form of art
and if there were artistic justice in this world I'd be run out of
town on a rail; instead, I'd probably get an NEA grant while the mad
geniuses of constrained poetry (Mike Keith, author of "Poe, E.: Near a
Raven" (http://users.aol.com/s6sj7gt/mikerav.htm), comes to mind)
starve on the heating grates.
Heroic masters of the metric verse,
Original despite the form's contraints,
Negate the claim that poetry's the worse
Gestated without phony "free verse" taints.
O, muse! you give the poet stringent rules;
O, art! you dictate form and beat and rhyme.
I bow to you, excoriating fools
Insipid, whose "prose poems" waste my time.
Serene encaged in rules, I make up more,
Adept, I strive to make the form more strait;
Deluded not by modernistic whore,
Oblivious, I narrow heaven's gate,
Perhaps to write a work to suit my pride --
Enough! Constraints are fully justified.

It is elitist attitudes like this one, that music is the perogative of
special people called "musicians" that revolutionaries like Johnny Rotten
struggled to overturn in the "punk rock" movement - actually an extension
of the Dada, Lettrist, and Situationist artistic and philosophical
movements. Please refer to what Guy de Bord wrote on the notion of Spectacle
in modern society.
