Funny thing happened when I tried to type that out: typing /italics/ caused libre office to automatically italicize the word.

- ksec 7y agoSame question, not sure what your parents meant at all. Unless there are languages italicised that leans to the left ( That would be very interesting )
- adrusi 7y agoWhen I read /italic/ or \italic\, I end up mentally transforming the text so that the slashes are vertical lines. When you do that with forward slashes, you get text with a negative slope (the wrong way). Demonstration: https://codepen.io/adrusi/full/poJXRgy https://codepen.io/adrusi/full/poJXRgy
- ScottFree 7y agoHuh. That's pretty damned interesting. Thanks for explaining!
