No idea what kind of programs you’ve used, then. The proper term is
“left/
right alignment”.
I think of alignment more in the context of string formatting where you'er
specifying a field width and whether the first character will be at the
beginning of the field or the last character will be at the end of the
field with leading space padding if necessary.
Left-justified and left-aligned are two different features. Jesus.
A quoted paragraph in the middle of left-justified texts can have indentation compared to the text above and below, and yet be "left-aligned".
