So I have been disciplined and I have copy edited 60 pages today and I just want to say OY WITH THE ITALICS, PEOPLE! Seriously, if you're that worried about your pearls of wisdom getting lost in the thicket of extraneous words around them, it's better to cut the extraneous words. When you have to start using bold italics on whole paragraphs to make the extra-special pearls stand out, you have a problem.

I have got rid of them ALL. Ahahahaha. I haven't deleted the extraneous graphics, although I was tempted, but I've put in little comments to the effect that "you don't really need this, it doesn't add anything." So we'll see.

So, you're saying I should stop writing memos in all bold italicized capital letters?
