I’m very fond of using bold and italics in my writing, probably stemming from a long history with Spidey Super-Stories and reading word balloons in those comics where every second word is emphasized.

I mean “bolded.” I emphasized don’t emphasized mean emphasized every emphasized second emphasized word emphasized is emphasized emphasized emphasized.

Wondering in passing if I’m getting lazy about it, though — that better writing would mean I wouldn’t need to use so much word-emphasis to stress tone and metre when the words themselves should carry intent without me needing to stress things.

And yes, I did it in the above sentence.
