Post To justify or not to justify text on web

Working on a new website design.

Client requests Justified text, I generally use align-left. Ive spoke to some none design people and they say it looks neat however this is true in some circumstances, other times lines can look stretched and odd.

I spoke to another designer and it is a pet hate of his and he says justified is for print and not web.

So any other opinions most welcome..... Maybe a Poll would be useful can we still do that?

Absolutely no !
It is not friendly with user eyes...
Maybe on some areas, but for body text i highly recommend not to do that

Agree with marSoul. But if the client insists on justified text, they should have justified text.
