There was a contemplation I had some three months back. I was praising the invention of italics. It blew my mind how a word or phrase can be shaded or toned in a way by it. This thought came after I thought on the beauty of voice inflection (I was teaching a communication course).
The point is, I looked for someone to share with me the other side of the use of italics (it does almost the same thing voice inflection does in spoken communication). Now here I have it.
Whoa!

Thank you for this timely caution.
Cheerio!
