And 'right justify' sometimes means this too, as it seems it does in the Vim docs, even though it doesn't really make sense (unless it's perhaps the opposite of 'wrong justify' which is a nice oxymoron even though grammatically flawed). (Actually, I think there some left-alignment assumption made in this case.) In other cases, 'right justify' is used to mean 'right align,' similarly 'left justify' to mean 'left align.' With this usage 'justify' simply means to 'make correct/straight' which is its earlier/more original meaning.
