    Tis common courtesy, and, in fact, a matter of proper etiquette, that the subject of ones ire and great, unfettered disdain, is made known to himself and the general populace, in a manner or language simultaneously clearly, precisely and unambiguously, thus removing any doubt as to the intent of ones message.

    Haha I have pretty nice writing, so what I do when I write a proper name of some entity I don’t like is run my thumb over it to smudge it.

    Frankly I think this is a style missing from the usual typographic emphases. Sure we’ve got

    • bold for impact
    • italics for notability
    • underline for attention
    • strikethrough for errata (closest one)

    And combinations thereof. But where is the style of emphasis for ire?

    I bemoan this typographical poverty, friends, for I have much which disgusts me of late, and I am so so so painfully petty.

      No underline in CommonMark, that’s a link. Which isn’t underlined on my end because it’s not the 1990s, any more. U͟n͟i͟c͟o͟d͟e͟ ͟w͟o͟r͟k͟s͟… more or less. It’s a hack. 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓈𝒾𝓋ℯ 𝓉ℯ𝓃𝒹𝓈 𝓉ℴ 𝓌ℴ𝓇𝓀 𝒻𝒾𝓃ℯ, 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔰𝔬 𝔡𝔬𝔢𝔰 𝔟𝔩𝔞𝔠𝔨𝔩𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯.
