writing advice: never italicize words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well then the reader will know and you don’t need them!

me: oh really??? listen up, pal, you can just try an pull italics from my cold, dead fingers

LOOK.  IF I’M NOT ALLOWED TO CAPITALIZE WORDS TO SHOW EMPHASIS, I WILL USE ITALICS, YOU CANNOT TAKE ALL MY SHAPING TOOLS AWAY FROM ME.

Clearly whoever said “don’t use italics” has never seen the “I never said I stole her money” italics trick.
