Area Type Options: Align is mislabeled. Should say "vertical", not "horizontal"

This UI option is mislabeled. It controls the vertical alignment of the text in a frame, not the horizontal alignment.

    Version 29.8.1 and this is still wrong. Guys…this is the easiest fix. Literally, just change the wording from "horizontal" to "vertical."

    The option is clearly mislabeled and now the function is broken: it just aligns to the top, whichever option you choose.

    Please update the wording to "vertical", Adobe; it's such an easy fix. As an instructor, I witness first-hand how confusing and frustrating this is for new users.

    Compare with InDesign's Text Frame Option called Vertical Justification. To echo Theresa Stoodley, this option is clearly mislabeled.
