Default Isn’t it weird?

I mean the way we dialogue on line? The other day I used the italics feature and quote thing and then remembered something I’ve thought as an internet trend
We don’t USE those features so much anymore.

I mean if I want to emphasize THAT man for saying THAT something, years ago I’d bolded or italicized words. I don’t do it much and I see it less.

I don't think I'm drunk enough to understand which features you use and do and see more or less and where and how they trend.

But yeah, it all depends on the channel and the device you're using. Using CAPS is quickest, and using *asterisks* is also something that works everywhere, but I guess only some people use them.

Actual bold and italic work in email (but not always easily on a phone). And WhatsApp will automatically convert *bold* into bold and _italic_ into italic.

This is _italic_ ? I thought it was _underscore_ !

It ought to be _underscore_ but I don't make the rules.
