Yes, indeed. Lightning Addresses look like email addresses, but they're for receiving bitcoin over the Lightning Network. They can be used repeatedly, and even without the recipient knowing about it.

Lightning invoices, on the other hand, are long strings of characters that can only be used once, expire after a certain amount of time, and need to be created by the recipient each time.

Both are important and have their place, but you're right: it's important to share good education on this.
