Nice of you to join in.

Thank you for your kind advice; it's the first time that ANYONE has ever said that in reply to any of my messages... however many there have been of them.

In a one word response to your question: Emphasis!

In a more ‘complete’ manner:

If my replies were emails or other types of 'WP' documents, I could underline, embolden, change font or even change the colour of the font. Please can you advise me how to 'emphasise' the words that I require WITHOUT those functions?

You see, I just have a suspicion that YOU use various means of 'emphasis'.... or do YOU avoid the use of the Exclamation mark... or the 'ellipses' (of which you will notice I am quite fond) or would you also count the use of THOSE as… and I quote: ‘very CONDESCENDING?' Surely, intelligent people like you and me can get the meaning of a sentence WITHOUT the condescending use of an exclamation mark? Many English scholars will tell you the use of the exclamation mark is merely a way of saying: ‘Oooh, look, I want you to notice that I just made a clever statement!’.

If using THOSE types of 'emphasiser' (if there is such a word) is acceptable to you, you can't object to the CONCEPT of emphasis in text. So... can you give me a clue of how to do it WITHOUT CAPITALS on THIS web site???

Oh... and I loved the sarcasm of creating that admonition of my writing style by copying it... no one has ever done THAT, either!

Hold on… wouldn’t ‘sarcasm’ also be an ‘unacceptable method of emphasis’, too? And you didn’t mind using THAT, did you?

Genuinely, kind regards.

Ian
