Did they forget to add their own synonym or is it outdated?

Emailing them is the fastest way to let them know.

Yeah, from the list of meanings on the item page it looks like a formatting bug that incorrectly has the ‘and’ highlighted as being part of a meaning.

I imagine the thing that is wrong is the alternative meanings. It should be “name and address.”

手紙や書類などに書く、先方の氏名。また、 **住所と氏名** 。名宛。

Yep, that seems to be it since the content update thread where this item was mentioned as being added says:

> Lvl 39: 宛名 Addressee, Name and Address あてな

> Hey, y’all👋 I just wanted to give you a heads-up, WaniKani is welcoming some new radicals, kanji, and vocabulary to our family within a couple days! Just like when we added some new items last year ([6/3/2019 update](https://community.wanikani.com/t/wanikani-content-update-june-3-2019/37043), [7/4/2019 update](https://community.wanikani.com/t/wanikani-content-update-july-4-2019/37588) and [7/25/2019 update](https://community.wanikani.com/t/wanikani-content-update-july-25-2019/37953)), the items would simply appear and then trickle into the lessons of those of you at the right levels. You won’t have to do anything to get the new items. There won’t be any downtime on the site, either👌 We think this addition will be useful for…

Someone must have fat-fingered something.

Or they told the intern “Add ‘name and address’ as a synonym for 宛名” and were misunderstood… 😅

Thanks for your investigative work, everyone! We’ll get this added as an alternative meaning.
