Italics and Underlining

Italics and Underlining

Italics and underlineing distinguish certain words from others within the text. These methods of grammar mean "THE SAME THING?"! Yes, and it is inappropriate to switch from one style of writing to another. So don't use them in the same document.

Use italics and underling for the following:

Titles
-"The Office" is the best T.V. show on the planet!

Names of Vehicles
-Challenger

Foreign Words or phrases
-If a word or phrase has become so widely used and understood that it has become part of the English language — such as the French "bon voyage" or the abbreviation for the latin et cetera, "etc."

Words as Words
-The word basically is often unnecessary and should be removed. For Emphasis

Words as Reproduced Sounds
-Grrr! went the bear.
