Is it strong enough to continue looking for more candidates? The trouble with loose is this: Linebreaking is related to justification, which affects inter-word spacing. The purpose of what you are considering 'loose' linebreaking is relaxation of hyphenation rules in order to *avoid* loose word spacing, e.g. as occurs in narrow columns. So for anyone thinking about the text block as a whole, terms like 'loose' may be confusing because this is a term more commonly encountered in reference to spacing. How about 'lax', as a good antonym for strict? JHReceived on Friday, 31 December 2010 07:32:47 UTC
