- komali2 2y agoNot to be a pedantic asshole, but those guidelines don't mention italicizing as emphasis, just that * causes italicizes. In fact the OP should probably say that they believe "HN users use italicization to emphasize," which again, who's "we?" _This_ style of emphasis, as others have mentioned, has been bouncing around IRC and whatnot forever.
