An address identifies where someone lives or works, or where a message can be sent.
The idea
Use an address for one and addresses for several. An email address identifies a destination for email; a postal address identifies a physical delivery location.
Examples
- Please write your address here.
- What is the address of the hotel?
- Her email address is on the form.
- We have a new address.
- The two addresses are different.
- I sent the letter to the wrong address.

Watch out
Do not assume an unqualified address means email: ask which kind is needed.
